The present volume is the result of labors instituted by Ebenezer 
Mack Treman and carried on for some time during the years 1893-4, 
and partially abandoned for several years, owing to the pressure of 
business duties, to be finally revived in 1901, and carried to a suc- 
cessful conclusion, with the assistance of Murray E. Poole. The 
latter can not refrain, in this connection, from expressing to the 
former his sincere thanks for the encouragement which he has ever 
received in the prosecution of the work, and desires further to bear 
testimony to his colleague's strong love of family and pride in its 
achievements and to his public spirit and generosity in providing 
this family memorial. An earnest, and we hope successful, attempt 
has been made to gather together, in this volume, the widely scattered 
family records. As the years go by they will become more and more 
valuable. It is hoped that the members of the family will take great 
care in preserving family records. If this work brings the various 
members of the family into closer communication, one of its objects 
will be attained. Its value as a contribution to local histor}^ must 
necessarily be great, while it is an authentic record which may some 
time prove of great value in enabling some member of the family to 
establish his right in the courts of law to an inheritance, or before 
the Interior Department to a pension for war service, or to prove 
eligibility to membership in the hereditary patriotic societies. Gene- 
alogy, once interesting to a few, has become a popular study. In the 
early days of few newspapers and with books seldom indexed, one

would seldom meet, in print, his family name ; nowadays the news- 
papers print long lists of names of individuals and a book of an his- 
torical character without an index is a rarity. Historical, biographical 
and directory publishing companies also provide many sources of 
genealogical information. The plan of this book is so simple as to 
need no explanation. The price is placed at actual cost. 

If any mistakes occur, and it is almost impossible to prevent them, 
in the thousands of names and dates, it is hoped that they will be 
reported for correction in some future edition. If any names have 
been omitted, it is regretted, as an effort was made to include every 
person bearing the family name or related to the family by intermar- 
riage. We desire especially to thank those who have furnished 

information.

The Treman, Tremaine, Truman family is of Norman origin. 
The first ancestor of the family in England came over from France 
with William the Conqueror. The original family name Tremayne, 
meaning three hands, was of Norman origin. The meaning of the 
name was lost and then from losing its meaning it gradually became 
converted into another name that had another meaning. This was 
not a very unusual occurrence in family names and can not be 
explained philologically. The change came by modification and use. 
The first of the name of whom we have any knowledge was Perys 
Tremayne who resided in Cornwall, England, in the reign of 
Edward III. (1312-1377.) His descendants were seated in Corn- 
wall for many generations. There is an old saying "By Tre, Pol and 
Pen, you may know the Cornish men." The first of the family 
bearing a different name, of whom we have any knowledge, was 
Rev. Henry Trewman, instituted rector of Cromwell, Nottingham- 
shire, England, July 27, 1635. His successor was Rev. Joseph Tru- 
man, D. D. The meaning of this name was, obviously, true man. 
An explanation of the change of name is found in the original pro- 
nounciation of the names Tremayne and Truman, the letter "u" in 
Truman having the sound of French "u" which is the sound of 
English "e", showing that the two qames sounded very much alike. 
The Anglo-Saxons spelled the name Trcevvman, meanmg wood-man. 
In America the name appears Treman, Tremaine and Truman. As 
illustrating how families re-adopt the old name it may be mentioned 
that many of the grandsons of Joseph Truman, the first American 
ancestor, remembering the family tradition that the old family name 
was Tremayne, adopted the old name Tremaine, as the name was 
spelled Tremayne and Tremaine in the olden time in England.

Lineage. 

From the manor of Tremayne in the parish of St. Martin, on 
the banks of Helford Haven, this family derived, at a very remote 
period, its designation. In the reign of Edward HL (13 12-1377), 
Perys Tremayne was there resident. By his wife, Dame Opre Tres- 
kewys, he was father of 

John Tremayne, to whom, having no issue himself, s. his brother,

CoUacombe, and removed in consequence to that estate, where his 
descendants flourished for more than three centuries. Isabella 
Trenchard, surviving her husband, remarried with Sir John Damerell. 

Thomas Tremayne was s. by his elder son,

the Lady Elizabeth (afterwards Queen of England, of glorious 
memory) were committed to the Tower in Queen Mary's days, upon 
an accusation of being privy to Wyat's conspiracy, Mr. Edmund 
Tremayne was set on the rack, thereby to extort from him a confession 
of their guilt (prisoners were oft examined about her, and some were 
put to the rack to try if they could be brought to accuse that lady), 
wherein approving their innocency and his own fidelity, with invincible 
resolution, he was, upon the Lady Elizabeth's advancement to the

tion, to seek an asylum in (Germany, having been deprived of his 
fellowship. Upon the elevation of Elizabeth to the throne, he 
returned from exile, and, visiting his college, had the honour of 
receiving both degrees of divinity at once, on 15 Feb., 1565. Dr. 
Tremayne subsequently removed to Gates Hall, and thence passed 
within a short period into his own county, being instituted Canon 
Residentiary of St. Peter's, Exeter, and Treasurer of that church. 
He was esteemed in his time a famous preacher, and he is styled by 
Carew "well born, learned, and well beloved." He m. Joan, eldest

in which the Cornish Tremaynes have taken part. During the reign 
of Pendennis, in Cromwell's time, Lieutenant Colonel Tremayne of 
Helligan escaped by swimming through the enemy's fire from one of 
the blockhouses to Trefuse's Point. A branch of the Tremaynes of 
Cornwall has been seated in Lamberton, Devon, for many centuries.

THE borders of THE SaMAR AND SaVY, BY Mrs. BrAY.) 

"In the parish of Lamerton, three miles from Tavistock, is Colla- 
combe, an old house that for generations was the seat of the Tre- 
maines (in their origin a Cornish family). Before the marriage Col. 
Arthur Tremaine with Bridget Hatherleigh induced them to remove 
to the more splendid mansion of Sydenham. When we visited the 
church we were much pleased with viewing the old monuments there 
existing of the family of Tremaine. But before I speak of the twin 
brothers I must say a few words of their father and family. Our 
great ancestors in the reign of Richard IL founded an hospital at 
the west end of the town of Tavistock and dedicated it to St. George. 

Thomas Tremaine, the parent of the twins, had eight sons and 
as many daughters. Edmund, the second son, was the devoted fol- 
lower of Edward, Earl of Devon and Marquis of Exeter, and suffered 
severely by his unshaken attachment to that nobleman during his 
many troubles. He was by order of Queen Mary racked in the 
Tower of London in the hope he would reveal enough to prove the 
guilt of the Marquis, but no torture could compel him to accuse the 
innocent or betray the confidences of his friend. The Queen did 
not forget the fidelity he had evinced under such a cruel test, as on 
her accession to the throne she rewarded Edmund by making him 
one of the Clerks of the Privy Council. 

The family of Tremaines is of ancient standing. Their arms 
consist of three united arms with clinched hands, and two hands 
above support a Saracen's head as the crest. 



14 History of the Treman Family. 

The hall window of Collacombe House has 3545 small panes of 
glass in it. 

We visited the interesting old house of Sydenham commenced in 
the time of Elizabeth and finished in that of James I. The mansion 
is built in the shape of the letter E. One of the gables has been 
despoiled of its beautiful old windows and common modern ones put 
in — supposed to have been the whim of a certain old Mr. Tremaine, 
the father of the late possessor of Sydenham, who was born in 1708 
and died in 1808. 

Sydenham was garrisoned for King Charles and taken by the 
parliamentary forces in January, 1645. 

Among the pictures in one of the apartments was the sister of 
the former Mr. St. John, who acted in concert with Hampden and 
Pymir during the rebellion. This lady was by marriage connected 
with the family of Tremaine. Over the chimney piece is the portrait 
of the gallant Col. Arthur Tremaine who lived to see the monarchy 
for which he fought and bled restored, and to wed with fair mistress 
Bridget Hatherleigh, who at that period had become for want of male 
issue the heiress of Sydenham. Bridget was grand-daughter of Sir 
Thomas Wise and by her marriage with the brave Col., the house 
and lands of Sydenham came to the family of Tremaine. Mr. Tre- 
maine. the present .worthy and respected proprietor, does not often 
reside in this princely but decaying mansion. He inherited it by will 
from the last old gentleman dying unmarried, who, though he had 
never seen him, left it on account of his being the same name and 
being the younger branch of the family with whom, however, he had 
kept up no communication. 

Nicholas and Andrew Tremaine were twin sons of the afore 
named Thomas Tremaine, born at Collacombe House in Lamerton. 
They were of such close resemblance in feature and gesture that they 
could not be known the one from the other by their own parents or 
friends. They wore a knot of colored ribbons to distinguish them. 
In 1563 they bore arms among the English forces sent into France, 
the one as Captain of Horse, the other as a volunteer. In one of 
the engagements near Newhaven, now Havre de Grace, they stood 
side by side. At last one fell and the other immediately took his 
place and shared his brother's fate. 

The monument in l,ain])erton Church is that of their family. 



The Tremayne Family in England. 15 

The following epitaph on Nicholas and Andrew appears inscribed on 
a tablet of marble with several rude rhymes to the memory of the 
same race : 

These likened twins in form and fancy one, 
Were like affected and like habits chose. 
Their valor at Newhaven seige was known, 
When both encountered fiercely with their foes. 
Then one of both sore wounded lost his breath, 
And t'other slain revenging brother's death." 

The Tremaynes are said to come from Sydenham. (This is 
Sydenham Damerel, 4 miles N. W. of Tavistock in Devon.) 

There is now no parish of St. Martin on the banks of Helford 
(? Milford) Haven. 

Tremain is a parish 4 miles N. E. of Cardigan, Wales.

THK FAMILY OF THH TR1vMAYNF:S. 

The ancient family of Tremayne, originally of Cornwall, settled 
in Devonshire in consequence of a marriage with the heiress of 
Trenchard of Collacombe in the parish of Lamerton, where for many 
generations was the chief seat of the family. 

The mansion, now used as a farmliouse, is of the style of the 
Elizabethan age, and in the parish church are some of their 
monuments.

The Tremavne Family in England. 17 

It is impossible here to enter into genealogical details and for 
these we must refer to Prince, nor can we do more than briefly notice 
the most distinguished individuals. 

Wescot, in his manuscript View of Devonshire, informs us that 
one of this ancient family, whose Christian name he does not men- 
tion, founded an hospital in the western part of Tavistock in the 
reign of Richard II. and dedicated it to St. George. 

But the most remarkable instances of distinguished individuals 
occur in the family of Thomas Tremayne, Esq., who had sixteen 
children, eight sons and eight daughters by his wife Philippa, who 
twice had twins. Their second son, Edmund, was servant to the 
Marquis of Exeter, when he was thrown into the Tower, and was put 
on the rack, with the view of extorting from him some confession ; 
nothing, however, was elicited from him ; and for his firmness on this 
occasion, when Elizabeth came to the throne he was made one of the 
Clerks of the Council. He also had an honorary salary settled upon 
him by the city of Exeter, for the good offices which they had 
received from him, and expected. 

Richard, the fourth son and eldest of the first twins, was edu- 
cated for the church at Exeter College, Oxford, and being deprived 
of his fellowship there, on account of his firm attachment to Protestant 
principles in the reign of Mary, he fled into Germany, but on the 
accession of Elizabeth, he returned to his college, where he received 
both his degrees in divinity at once. He was afterwards made Canon 
residentiary of Exeter Cathedral and also Treasurer of that church. 
He likewise became Vicar of Menheniot in Cornwall, and was 
esteemed an excellent preacher in his time. He died without issue 
in 1584.

(From Dictionary of National Biography.) 

Edmund Tremayne (d. 1582), Clerk of the Privy Council, was 
second son of Thomas Tremayne, of CoUacombe, Lamerton, Devon- 
shire, where the Devonshire branch of this old Cornish family had 
been established since 1366. His mother was Philippi, eldest 
daughter of Roger Grenville, of Stowe. Of this marriage were born 
sixteen children, of whom four — Edmund, Richard and the twins, 
Nicholas and Andrew — acquired some reputation. The twins 
Andrew and Nicholas were strikingly alike, physically and mentally. 
The elder, Andrew, fled with Sir Peter Carew, on 25 Jan., 1554, and 
both were imprisoned on suspicion of piracy on 24 Feb., 1555, but 
escaped to France where they were pensioned by the French King. 
They were also implicated in the Sir Anthony Kingston plot in 1556. 
After Elizabeth's accession they entered her service. Andrew led a 
brilliant cavalry charge against the French at Leith in April, 1560, 
and was killed at Newhaven (Havre) on 18 July, 1562. Nicholas, 
who seems to have been a special favourite of Elizabeth, was fre-

quently employed in carrying important despatches between France 
and England, and distinguished himself at the siege of Newhaven 
where he was killed on 26 May, 1562. Edmund entered the service 
of Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devonshire, in the autumn of 1553, 
but was committed to the Tower in February or March following, on 
suspicion of being concerned in Wyatt's rebellion. He was racked 
during the time Elizabeth was a prisoner in the Tower (Fox) but 
would not implicate her or Courtenay, his master. On Friday, 18 
Jan., 1855, '^^ ^^'^s released with Sir Gawen Carew, the three sons of 
the late Duke of Northumberland and others. His tine (40 1.), was 
the lowest enforced. Tremayne seems to have joined Courtenay in 
Italy. Courtenay wrote from Venice on 2 May, 1556, "I am sorry 
for Tremayne's foolish departure, albeit satisfied and content there- 
with as he shall well perceive, but I trust the cause thereof will prove 
as you have written." This probably means that the Earl thought it 
foolish of Tremayne to leave England and lay himself open to a 
charge of treason. Courtenay died at Padua on 18 Sept., 1556, and 
it is possible that Tremayne entered the service of Francis, Earl of 
Bedford, who was in Venice in 1557. The appointment he received 
in 1 56 1 of Deputy Butler for Devonshire must have been through the 
influence of the Earl of Bedford, then lord lieutenant of Devonshire. 
Tremayne spent some time at Elizabeth's court, and Burghley thought 
so highly of him that in July, 1569, he sent him on a special mission 
to Ireland, "to examine into the truth and let him know quietly the 
real condition of the country." Tremayne remained in Ireland until 
the close of 1569, writing frequently to Cecil on Irish affairs. On 3 
May, 1 57 1, he was sworn clerk of the Privy Council at Westminster. 
He wrote in June a paper entitled "Causes why Ireland is not 
Reformed," which was endorsed by Burghley with the words, "a 
good advice." Tremayne was returned M. P. for Plymouth (1572) 
with John Hawkyns. In June he drew up, with Lord Burghley, an 
important document, "Matters wherewith the Queen of Scots may be 
charged," from which Burghley's signature was afterwards erased. 
Tremayne succeeded to the family estates on his elder brother's 
death on 13 March, 1572. He still maintained a special interest in 
Irish affairs, and revisited the country late in 1573. (See "Instructions 
given to Mr. E. Tremayne upon his being sent to the Lord Deputy of 
Ireland by the Lord Treasurer," 1573, in Lambeth MSS.) The

City of Exeter granted Tremayne in 1574 a reversion to Sir Gawen 
Carew's pension of 40 1. "in reward of their good services done this 
city." (Isaacke.) Carew outlived Tremayne, so the latter never 
benefited by the grant. The family mansion of Collacombe was 
altered and enlarged by him; the date 1574 still appears with the 
family arms and those of his royal mistress in the great hall. Tre- 
mayne was in 1578 senior of the four clerks to the Privy Council, 
but he chierty resided in Devonshire, where he acted as commissioner 
for the restraint of grain and held other local offices. On 24 Oct., 
1580, the Queen wrote from Richmond commanding him to assist 
Francis Drake in sending to London bullion brought into the realm 
by Drake, but leaving ten thousand pounds' worth in Drake's hands. 
This last instruction "to be kept most secret to himself alone.'' Tre- 
mayne made his will 17 Sept., 1582. The Earl of Bedford wrote to 
announce his death to Burghley a few days later. Burghley, in reply, 
described Tremayne as "a man worthy to be beloved for his honesty 
and virtues." In September, 1576, he married Eulalia, daughter of 
Sir John St. Leger of Annery. A son Francis, named after Tre- 
mayne's "Good Lord" Bedford, lived for only six weeks after his 
father, and at his death the estates passed to Degory, Edmund's 
third brother. Degory erected in 1588 a fine monument to his five 
brothers, Roger, Edmund, Richard and the twins, with their effigies 
well modelled and lifelike. Edmund appears as an elderly man with 
a refined and thoughtful face. Tremayne's "Discourses on Irish 
Affairs" remain unprinted among the Cottonian manuscripts at the 
British Museum. 

Richard Tremayne (d. 1584), younger brother of Edmund, was 
fourth son (the younger of twins) of Thomas Tremavne. He was 
sent to Exeter College, Oxford, where he graduated B. A. in 1547-8. 
He was elected a fellow on March 28, 1553, and proceeded M. A. on 
July 17. He vacated his fellowship by flying to Germany in the first 
year of Mary's reign. On his epitaph he is stated to have "fled for 
the gospel's sake." He was at Louvain on Nov. 16, 1555, acting as 
tutor to Sir Nicholas Arnold's son. He was reckoned among the 
conspirators against the Queen, and on April 4, 1556, was declared a 
traitor with his brother Nicholas and others who were concerned in 
Sir Anthony Kingston's plot. Tremayne returned to England very 
soon after Elizabeth's accession, and was favourably regarded at 



22 History of the Treman Family. 

court. He was made Archdeacon of Chichester by Elizabeth on 
April 7, 1559. Cecil had some correspondence with Sir Nicholas 
Throckmorton, ambassador in France, regarding Tremayne's employ- 
ment in the diplomatic service, "he having the high Dutch tongue 
very well." But he stayed at home, and was ordained deacon by 
Grindal, Bishop of London, on Jan. 25, 1560. He had been re- 
elected fellow of his college on Oct. 17, 1559, but vacated his fellow- 
ship by absence the ensuing May. He was also presented by the 
college to the vicarage of Menheniot (Carew), and was installed 
treasurer of Exeter Cathedral on Feb. 10, 1560. For reasons not 
stated in the "Bishop's Register" he was deprived of his treasurer- 
ship, but re-installed on Oct. 27, 1561, and held the office until his 
death. He became rector of Doddiscombleigh on Jan. 15, 1561, 
holding the living until 1564, when he resigned. Tremayne was 
something of a puritan. He sat in convocation as proctor for the 
clergy of Exeter, and signed the Canons establishing the Thirty-nine 
Articles. On Feb. 13 he spoke, and gave his two votes in favor of 
sweeping alterations in the Book of Common Prayer. He was 
elected fellow of Broadgate's Hall (afterwards Pembroke College), 
Oxford, on Feb. 20, 1565. On Feb. 15, 1566, he took the degree of 
B.D., proceeding D.D. on April 26. He became rector of Combe- 
Martin in 1569, and the Earl of Bedford vainly recommended him 
on July 23, 1570, to Cecil for the vacant bishopric of Exeter. Tre- 
mayne was buried on Nov. 30, 1584, at Lamerton, and his will proved 
on Dec. 15 at Exeter. On Sept. 19, 1569, he married Joanna, 
daughter of Sir Piers Courtenay of Ugbrooke. His only child, Mary, 
married Thomas Henslowe. He gave to Exeter College a copy of 
the polyglot Bibles in eight volumes, printed by Christopher Plantin 
at Antwerp, 1569-72, at the command of Philip H. 

Sir John Tremayne or Tremaine (d. 1694), lawyer, eldest son of 
Lewis Tremayne, Lieutenant Governor of Pendennis Castle, who 
married Mary, daughter and co-heiress of John Carew of Penwarne 
in Mevagissey, was born in the parish of St. Ewe, Cornwall. He 
was brought up to the study of the law, by 1678 was a man to be 
consulted, and soon acquired considerable practice. His name fre- 
quently occurs in cases before the House of Lords from 1689 to 
1693; he was counsel for the crown against Sir Richard (iraham, 
otherwise Lord Preston, and others for high treason, January 1690-1,

was engaged for Sir John Germaine in the action brought against 
that adventurer by the Duke of Norfolk for adultery with the 
duchess, and he acted for the Crown on the trial of Lord Mohun, a 
brother Cornishman, for the murder of Mountford, the actor, January, 
1693. Tremayne was called with others to be Sergeant-at-law on 
May I. 1689. was made King's sergeant, and next day took the oaths, 
when he and his colleagues entertained the "nobility, judges, ser- 
geants, and others with a dinner at Sergeant's Inn in Fleet Street," 
London. He was Knighted at Whitehall on Oct. 31, 1689, and in 
1690 was returned to Parliament for the Cornish borough of Tre- 
gony. In June, 1692, he w-as a candidate for the recordership of 
London, but was beaten at the poll. It is recorded by Luttrell on 
Feb. 20, 1694, that Tremayne was dead. He died issueless. His 
brother's descendant now lives at Heligan, near Mevagissey (where 
the Sergeant rebuilt the family mansion), and inherits the ample 
estates in Cornwall and Devon. His useful volume, "Placita Coronae 
or Pleas of the Crown in matters Criminal and Civil," was published 
in 1723, many years after his death, when it had been "digested and 
revised by the late Mr. John Rice of Furnival's Inn." An FLnglish 
translation by Thomas Vickers came out in two volumes at Dublin in 
1793. A collection by Tremayne of "Entries, declarations and 
pleadings" in the reigns of Charles II. and James II., numbering in 
all 182 pages, is at the British Museum. 

Joseph Truman (1631-1671), ejected minister and metaphysi- 
cian, son of Richard and Mary Truman, was born at Gedling, near 
Nottingham, and baptized there on Feb. 2, 163 1. His father, who 
held some public post in the place, got into difficulties by speaking 
disrespectfully of the "Book of Sports." Joseph was educated first 
by the minister of Gedling, and afterwards at the free school at Not- 
tingham. He was admitted a pensioner at Clare College, Cambridge, 
on June 9, 1647, proceeded B.A. in 1650, and M.A. in 1654. He 
was made rector of Cromwell near Nottingham (probably by the 
Assembly of Divines, as his name does not appear on the institution 
books), some time after Dec. 4, 1656, when the former "minister of 
Cromwell" (Henry Trewman, instituted July 27, 1635), was buried. 
The similarity in the two names (or possibly identity with a variation 
in the spelling) suggests a family connection. After the passing of 
the Act of Uniformity in 1662, Truman, according to Calamy,

declined to read the whole of the service in the Book of Common 
Prayer, because, he said, there were "lies in it" ; to prove his asser- 
tion, he quoted the collect for Christmas Day, and pointed out that 
not only was the birth of Christ stated to have taken place that day, 
but also on the following Sunday. The collect is said to have been 
amended in consequence, but in reality it had been altered by the 
Savoy Conference in 1661. Truman's successor in the rectory was 
instituted on Nov. 3, 1662. After his ejectment he resided in Mans- 
field in order to be near his friend Robert Porter, and always attended 
the services of the estabUshed church. He refused, however, all 
offers of preferment, was frequently indicted for non-conformity, and 
was once unsuccessfully sued to an outlawry. He died at Sutton in 
Bedfordshire on July 19. 167 1, and was buried in the chancel of the 
church there on July 21. In 1669 Truman published anonymously 
his first work, "The Great Propitiation," in which he endeavored to 
explain the Apostle Paul's theory of justification without works. He 
attached to his work (also anonymously) "A Discourse Concerning 
the Apostle Paul's meaning of 'Justification by Faith,' " in which he 
maintained that it was not intended "to exclude repentance and sin- 
cere obedience from being a condition of our justification," but that 
they were indeed included in the meaning of the word "faith." "The 
Great Propitiation" reappeared in London in 167 1, 1672, and 1843. 
On the appearance early in 1670 of Bishop Bull's "Harmonia Apos- 
tolica," Truman felt that many of his positions were seriously 
assailed, and commenced at once to write an answer in English for 
private circulation. It was, however, published anonymously under 
the title of "An Endeavour to rectify some prevailing Opinions con- 
trary to the Doctrine of the Church of England" (London, 167 1). 
Truman's main contention was the all-sufficiency of the Mosaic law, 
which, he argued, was able not only to work true sanctification in 
man, but if rightly interpreted, to insure eternal life. Interpreted as 
a law of grace, it was no type or shadow, but the very gospel itself, 
to which the Sermon on the Mount had added nothing essential, and 
which remained in force to the present day. In the same year (167 1) 
Truman, still with Bull's views in mind, published anonymously "A 
Discourse of Natural and Moral Impotency," in which he contended 
that whereas natural inability excuses from blame or guilt in propor- 
tion to its extent, moral inability aggravates it in like proportion. 



The Tremayne Family in England. 25 

consisting as it does in aversion of tlie will. Tlie book was re- 
published with the writer's name in 1675 ^^^ again in 1834. Bull 
answered Truman at some length in his "Examen Censurae," pp. 
149 et seq. Truman's writings all exhibit close, subtle argumentation. 
He was a man of unusual learning and untiring diligence and industry.

Dear Sir — Your note of the 5th inst. to Mr. Greenlaw has been 
forwarded to me by him for reply, and has just reached me at this 
place where I am detained at the deathbed of a near relative — a fact 
which must plead my excuse for a hurried and incoherent reply. 

I should be very pleased to undertake your case and use my 
best efforts to solve it for you. 

For the next two or three days my address will be as abov^e, 
after that at my home at South Freeport, Maine, where letters will 
always reach me. 

Truman, Treeman, Tremaine, etc., are probably all variants of a 
common name and you are no doubt correct in attributing its origin 
to Cornwall, where it is well known. You are probably familiar with 
the Tremaine pedigree as given in Col. Vivian's Cornwall Visitations, 
which book, while not strictly reliable, is very useful as a guide. I 
have a good correspondent in Devonshire who can obtain Exeter 
wills (covering Cornwall) without traveling expense from London, 
quite an item. 

Please give me all possible detail known of Joseph Truman and 
his family on which to base my quest. Do you wish detailed report 
of search or simply the sifted results of value ? 

Awaiting your further advice in the matter I remain. Sir, 

Yours faithfully, 

J. Henry Lea.

JOSEPH TRUMAN OF NEW LONDON, CONN. (1666.) 

I. Joseph Truman. His ancestors lived anciently in Corn- 
wall, England. He was born in Nottinghamshire, . England. He 
married in England but neither his wife's name, nor the name of her 
family, has yet been ascertained. He appeared with his wife, and 
perhaps some of his children, at New London, Conn., in 1666. In 
the following year he was chosen Constable, a position of considerable 
honor in those days. He purchased in 1667 from Alex. Piggins, and 
about 1670 from Hugh Roberts, some pits for tanning, which were 
located in a meadow near the entrance of Cape Ann Lane. Truman 
Brook and Truman Street are named after him and his family. He 
had two tanneries, one at each end of this street on Truman Brook. 
The brook ran into Bream Cove near the Hempstead lot. He 
appears as plaintiff in law suits in Oct., 1682; May, 1683; Oct., 
1683, and May, 1685. He died in 1697 at New London, Conn. In 
his will, executed m Sept., 1696, he mentions four children, Joseph, 
Thomas, Elizabeth and Mary, his daughter Ann having died before 
the will was made. In a note-book, now in the possession of Lucy 
E. Greene of Denver, Col., which was owned by her great-grand- 
father, Jonathan Truman, appears the following entry in 1822 : 
•'Jonathan Truman, owner of this book, is the son of Jonathan Tru- 
man, born at New London, June 25, 1730. He was the son of 
Thomas Truman who was also born at New London. His father 
who was named Joseph, came to America from England (Notting- 
hamshire), in company with a brother who settled in Virginia. , He

sixteen years, he enlisted Sept. 5, 1777, as a private soldier in Cap- 
tain Aaron Rowley's Company of Col. John Brown's Mass. Reg't., 
serving 24 days, at northward of Pawlet, and was honorably discharged 
Sept. 29, 1777. After his removal to New York State he joined the 
Second Regiment of the Line, commanded by Colonel Philip Van 
Cortlandt of New York, and was assigned to the Fifth Company 
where he served till the close of the War. He was one of the picked 
company selected by Washington himself to accompany Gen. Anthony 
Wayne in his hazardous and successful attack on Stony Point. He 
was one of the advanced guard under Lieutenant Gibbon, a forlorn 
hope, in which he acquitted himself as a cautious and brave soldier 
in an e.xtremely dangerous service. He also accompanied that brill- 
iant young Irishman to whom due credit has never been given. Gen. 
John Sullivan, with over one-third of the Continental Army, in his 
Indian Expedition in 1779, ^'^ punish the Six Nations. He was 
successively Corporal, Sergeant and Sergeant Major. He was also 
honored with a Badge of Merit. He served five years and two 
months and after his death his widow applied, Feb. 16. 1839, ^^r a 
pension which was granted. He received for his war services six 
hundred acres of land, located in what was then the County of 
Herkimer. This land is now in part occupied by the Village of 
Trumansburg, N. Y. It was named after the family and was once 
called "Tremaine's Village" but in making out his commission as 
Post Master the name of the place was misspelled "Trumansburg" 
and so it has remained. He came in 1792, with his wife, three 
children, his brother Philip and Philip's son Benjamin, and his wife's 
brother, John McLallen, with his bounty warrant and took possession 
of his land. He immediately commenced clearing up his land and 
in 1794 built a grist mill procuring the necessary machinery from 
Chenango Point, now Binghamton, N. Y. It was on his homeward 
journey that he froze his feet so that one of them had to be amputated. 
He built iiis first log cabin on a site opposite the present M. E. Church 
where he subsequently built a frame house which is still standing. 

The following is from Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in the 
Revolution :

New York in the Revolution says : 

"Trimmins, Abner. Private in Colonel Philip Van Cortlandt's 
Second Regiment of the New York Line." 

Washington Records say : 

•'Department of the Interior, Bureau of Pensions, Washington, 
D. C, February 24, 1893. Sir: — Referring to your communication 
received in this Bureau by the reference of Hon. A. C. Hopkins in' 
which you request information concerning the military history of 
Abner Treman a soldier of the Revolutionary War. I have to state 
that his widow Mary McLallen (maiden name) was granted a pension 
for his services in that war as a private in the Second New York 
Regiment for five years and two months. Dates of enlistment and 
discharge, officers under whom service was rendered and battles 
engaged in not mentioned. It appears that he was honored with a 
Badge of Merit for three years faithful service. In the widow's 
application for pension dated Feby. i6th, 1839, ^^^ states that she 
was married to the soldier July (30) thirtieth, 1785, at Alford, Mass., 
and that he died August i8th, 1823. Very respectfully, Charles P. 
Lincoln, Deputy Commissioner." 

"Landmarks of Tompkins County" says of him : 
"Abner Treman passed his boyhood and reached the age of 
responsibility just as the struggle for freedom by the American 
colonies was being inaugurated and with four brothers patriotically 
assumed his share in the memorable contest. He was sixteen vears 
of age when he enlisted in Col. Van Cortland's Regiment and was 
assigned to the Fifth Company, serving until the close of the war. 
His courage, firmness and ability were such that he was selected by 
Gen. Washington himself, as one of those to assist in the capture of 
Stony Point, on the Hudson River. General Wayne was in command 
of the expedition ; Lieutenant Colonel Fleury had the immediate 
command of the right wing, which was composed of one hundred and 
fifty volunteers, and these were led by twenty men under Lieutenant 
Gibbon as a forlorn hope. Of these twenty men Abner Treman was 
one. He was in General Sullivan's army and accompanied him on 
his expedition through the Wyoming Valley and up the Susquehanna. 
He was successively corporal, sergeant and sergeant-major. It 
appears from the records at Washington that he was honored with a 



46 History of the Treman Family. 

Badge of Merit for faithful service. He received as a bounty for his 
services in the Continental Army six hundred acres of land located 
in what was then the County of Herkimer. The Indian title had 
been e.xtinguished, and the State of New York had divided a large 
tract of land into twenty-eight townships of one hundred lots each, 
and each lot containing six hundred and sixty acres of land, to pay, 
as a bounty, to her soldiers who were in the army of the Revolution. 
Abner Treman's number drawn was Lot No. 2, Township No. 22. 
It proved to be a strip of land three-fourths of a mile wide, and 
about two miles in length, on which is now located the beautiful 
village of Trumansburg. N. Y. He came in 1792 with his wife, three 
children, his brother Philip and Philip's son Benjamin and his wife's 
brother, John McLallen. with his bounty warrant to take possession 
of his land. He immediately commenced clearing up his land and 
gave a man a deed of one hundred acres of it for one year's service 
to work it. In 1794 he concluded to build a grist mill, and went 
east to Chenango Point, now Binghamton, to purchase the necessary 
machinery. On his return he stopped all night at Davenport's 
tavern which was located a mile from Ithaca on West Hill. It was 
in the month of February, and there came on a snow storm which 
covered the ground about two feet deep. He left the tavern at nine 
o'clock in the morning ; after walking all day and until about mid- 
night he arrived at the house of Mr. Wayburn on Goodwins point, 
and about two miles from home. He could go no farther, he was 
exhausted, frozen and nearly dead. They kindly cared for him but 
imprudently put his feet into warm water ; one of them had to be cut 
off and it was this that made him a cripple for life. Abner Treman 
took up land on the site of what is now the village of Trumansburg. 
The settlement at this point has had several names, but its present 
one is derived wholly from the fact of Mr. Treman's settlement 
there. It was first called 'McLallen's Tavern,' and it is said that at 
one time it was known as 'Shin Hollow.' Upon the authority of 
Dewitt Clinton it was also, and much more appropriately, known at 
an early day as 'Tremaine's Village.' Just how or when the final 
transition to its present name occurred is not known. Mr. Treman 
had married Mary McLallen, daughter of John McLallen, several 
years before his migration westward. For their dwelling he built 
tile first honso on a lot ojiposite the present M. K. Church. It was 



Fourth Generation. 47 

of course a primitive log cabin, its roof covered with bark. There 
several of his children were born and on the same lot he eventiially 
erected the house which is still standing. It has been written of 
Abner Treman that he was a man of marked characteristics, full of 
life and animal spirit, of robust physique and powerful voice, brusque 
and sometimes rough in speech, generous and charitable, yet exacting 
as to his rights ; he was respected by all good citizens and feared by 
the bad. The blood that flowed in his veins was good and strong 
and he transmitted to his posterity the sterling qualities which he 
possessed in so eminent a degree, and his children and children's 
children in turn became prominent and representative people 
wherever they lived." 

The following is from the pen of a noted local historian : 
"Recollections of Abner Treman. [From the Ithaca Daily 
Journal, November 28, 1877.] A Tompkins County Revolutionary 
Hero. Editors Journal : Having written a few incidents of the early 
settlement of Ithaca, it has given me an opportunity of learning the 
history of not only its early settlers but one of the heroes of the 
Revolution. I have stated before that on the platform, which con- 
tained the officers of the day, (on our Fourth of Julv celebrations of 
over fifty years ago), men were seen who had fought to establish us 
as a nation. One of them who used to be there with his wooden leg, 
was Abner Treman (or Tremain, as it was then spelled) whose 
history, most of which I have learned from his son Jared Treman, 
now living at Trumansburg. Mr. Abner Treman was born in 
Columbia county, New York, in 1761, and at the early age of sixteen 
enlisted in the Continental army in the year 1777, serving nearly six 
years, or until the war was finished and received his discharge signed 
by Gen. Washington. He was the grandfather of Leonard Treman, 
Lafayette L. Treman, and Elias Treman, who have been residents of 
Ithaca for over forty years, and who were born in this county. I will 
commence his history on events that happened ninety-eight years ago 
but I might say that it would have commenced an hundred years 
before (1778) at the battle of Monmouth, if he had not been sent to 
the hospital, as being sick with the smallpox, a few days previous. 
His courage, firmness and ability were such that he was selected by 
Gen. Washington himself, as one of those who were to take a hand 
in the capture of the fort, that was located on Stony Point, on the 



48 History of the Treman Family. 

Hudson river, (you will permit me, Mr. Editor, to take a little from 
history of its situation, and the manner that it was captured, on the 
night of the 15th of July, 1779, that we may better understand the 
hazard our hero underwent in that battle.) It is several years since 
I have seen the Point, but it is well named Stony Point, for it is 
covered with stones, and is about 300 feet in height. It was Wash- 
ington's plan to have taken another fort at the same time, but that 
failed, as the men did not come to time. If the Americans .could 
have taken both forts, they would have made it difficult for the 
English war ships to go up the Hudson river, and would have given 
the American army the ferry at that point of the river. It was 
Washington that planned the taking of the fort and selected the men 
for the difficult task, and he well knew that if taken at all, it must be 
by surprise. Six weeks previous the English had taken it from the 
Americans, and had placed there six hundred men who were building 
and adding to it breastworks for large cannon ; there was also built 
half way up the hill an abatis of two rows of sharpened trees. There 
had also been placed there a considerable quantity of stores. 
General Wayne was put in command of the expedition. Lieutenant 
Colonel Fleury (a Frenchman) had the immediate command of the 
right wing, which was composed of one hundred and fifty volunteers. 
and these were led by twenty men under Lieutenant Gibbon as a 
forlorn hope. Of these twenty men, Abner Treman was one. They 
had to pick their way up the stony hill and when they came to the 
abatis it was their duty to make a way through it for others to 
follow. The left wing was composed of one hundred volunteers led 
by twenty men constituting another forlorn hope under Lieutenant 
Knox. At half past eleven at night orders were given to march. On 
the right wing was Commanding General Wayne with Lieutenant 
Colonel Fleury, and Treman says : 'that as the forlorn hope of 
twenty men, under (]ibbon, passed Col. Fleury to take the lead up 
the hill, he took each one of them l)y the hand, and with tears gave 
them a parting kiss. That there might l)e no confusion. Gen. Wash- 
ington had directed that each man should have pinned on his cap a 
piece of white paper, and every gun was unloaded, the bayonet only 
to be used,' and Treman said, 'that instead of a Hint he only had a 
piece of wood put in its place. When the right wing came to the 
abatis, they encountered the out-post of the enemy. Gen. Wayne 



Fourth Generation. 49 

was wounded and seventeen out of twenty of the forlorn hope were 
either killed or wounded. Treman was one of the three who were 
unhurt. Major Murphy, with his men came to the rescue, and within 
an hour the fort was taken with the loss of fifteen killed and eighty- 
three wounded. The British had twenty men killed, seventy-four 
wounded, fifty-eight missing, and four hundred and seventy-two taken 
prisoners with stores valued at $150,640. Mr. Abner Treman had 
an older brother in the army who, after the fort was taken, remarked 
to him, 'Abner, I would rather have seen you dead than to have you 
been a coward and not gone with that forlorn hope.' And whose 
heart would not move with emotions of pride and pleasure, if he 
could say that 'my father's father was there' ? 

"We have all read of Sullivan's expedition through this country 
in 1779. Abner Treman was one of the soldiers of that army, 
whether he came up the Susquehanna with Gen. Sullivan from 
Wyoming valley, or was with Gen. James Clinton, who started from 
Canajoharie, on the Mohawk river, and went over to the Otsego 
Lake, and came down the Susquehanna, I am not able to say ; but 
the two armies met at Tioga Point (now Athens) and formed an army 
of about five thousand men. The battle of Chemung was fought on 
the 29th of August, 1779, ^^^^ Elmira. 

"In reading the history of the battle it appears that on the side 
of the Indians there were more white men than Indians. It is not 
necessary for me to enter into the particulars of that march, but it 
was finished in the month of September, about the 28th. There 
must have been about six hundred of that army in Ithaca. Mr. 
Jared Treman says, 'that his father's Colonel was Col. Courtland,' 
and that he visited them at Trumansburg, after they settled there. 
Mr. George W. Schuyler remarks 'that his father had a cousin by the 
name of Courtland in that army, as Colonel, who camped on South 
Hill, near Aurora street bridge. The Tuscaroras who were scattered, 
lived two miles up the Inlet ; those at the head of the lake being the 
Cayugas. There are two names that will always remain green in 
connection with that expedition, Horseheads from the number of 
horses' heads found there, which were left by the army, and Pony 
Hollow from the number of ponies found there, that had also been 
left by them. 

"Abner Treman came here in 1792, settled, and made this his

home, a number of years before there was even a township organized, 
and this section was in the county of Herkimer. The Indian title 
had been extinguished, and the State of New York had divided a 
large tract of land into twenty-eight townships of one hundred lots 
each, and each lot containing 640 acres of land, to pay, as a bounty 
to her soldiers who were in the army of the Revolution. Abner 
Treman's number drawn was Lot No. 2, Township No. 22. It 
proved to be a strip of land three-fourths of a mile wide, and about 
two miles in length, on which is now located the beautiful village of 
Trumansburg. He came in 1792 with his wife, three children, and 
his wife's brother, (a Mr. McLallen), with his bounty warrant to take 
possession of his land. His title was of the best as was his land. 
He immediately commenced clearing up his land and gave a man a 
deed of one hundred acres of it, for one year's service to work on it. 
In 1794 he concluded to build a grist mill, and went east to 
Chenango Point, now Binghamton, to purchase the necessary machin- 
ery, that could not be made at the farm. On his return he stopped 
all night at Davenport's tavern, which was located a mile from here 
on West Hill. It was in the month of February, and there came on 
a snow storm which covered the ground about two feet deep. He 
left the tavern at nine o'clock in the morning, after walking all day 
and until about midnight he arrived at the house of Mr. Wayburn on 
Goodwins Point, and about two miles from home. He could go no 
farther, he was exhausted, frozen, and nearly dead. They kindly 
cared for him, and as far as they knew did what was for the best, 
but they imprudently put his feet into warm water, one of them had 
to be cut off and it was this that made him a cripple for life. He 
died August i8th, 1823, aged 61 years. \V. T. Kddy." 

The following letter was written by a grandson : 

"Mecklenburg, N. Y., Mar. 2 2d, 1876. 

"Dear Son : — I learn from Erastus Treman today that in the early 
settlement of this country as he was informed by Grandfather Abner 
Treman and also his nephew, Benj. Treman, that Phillip Treman, a 
brother of Abner Treman, and Pliillip's son Benj. came to this 
country on foot, about the year 1792 or 3, from about 30 miles north 
of Albany, each with a gun and an ax and provisions for 30 days 
and one dollar in money, having only 6 cts. left upon their arrival 



Fourth Generation. 51 

here in the month of June and Philhp, as he says, struck the first 
blow by any white man at or near Trumansburg. They cut down 
about 8 acres of timber on the east bank of the creek in Trumans- 
burg where ihe M. E. church now stands. 

"They came back there in the fall of the same year and cleared 
up the timber that they had cut before, saving enough and putting 
up the body of a log house on the N. W. cor. opposite the now Meth. 
church and sowed the land to wheat, my grandfather, Abner Treman, 
giving them each 50 acres of his land for coming here and settling 
with him. Grandfather came here the next spring from Chenango 
Co., starting with oxen and sleigh in the month of Febry, 1793 or 4, 
and arrived here about the first of March, with his family, wife and 3 
children, after living in Chenango Co. one year, having moved there 
the year before from Columbia Co. Says there were quite a good 
many Indians here at that time. 

"Late in the fall of the same year Grandfather, Abner Treman, 
took his oxen down to what is now Ithaca to have them kept there 
on the marsh through the winter, and in returning from there late at 
night froze both his legs, rendering amputation necessary of both 
legs, one below the knee, the other the front part of the foot. 

"George B. Treman." 

The following letter was written by Abner's son Jared : 

"Trumansburg, Nov. 24th, 1877. 

"Dear Nephew : — I believe Uncle John McLallen built the first 
frame house and Wm. Treman cut the tirst tree. But who cleared 
the first land I don't know. Father gave Jesse Herriman one hundred 
acres of land for one year's work. Father built his first house or 
shanty down by the creek. I think he did not live there long. I 
know there used to be preach trees there, where I used to get peaches 
when a lad. Father built a log house within a few feet of the house 
he lived in when he died. I remember when they used to have 
dances or balls there. Wm. Atwater and Isaac Varna and many 
others would attend. Father's frame house now stands in center of 
village; was raised in 1806. I think if Mr. Eddy will call on Mrs. 
James McLallen she will let him look over James' genealogical record,' 
he will get more information than he can anywhere else. James was 
better posted than any one that I know and had the record of many

events. If you ever come here (it don't look as if you ever would) 
I would go over there with you and you could look for yourself. I 
think it would be very interesting to you as he had I think nearly 
two ledgers full of events or things that transpired during his lifetime. 
1 think Leonard, Lafayette and Elias would be well paid for their 
trouble to see for themselves. Nothing more at present, good by. 

"Yours, etc., 

"Jared Treman." 

The History of Four Counties, so-called, says : 

"Feb. 1 8, 1819, Abner Treman gave a deed to the First Pres- 
byterian Church of Ulysses three-quarters of an acre of land for $100, 
for cemetery purposes, where the 'Old Cemetery' nOw is, reserving 
certain rights that the following quotation from the deed will explain : 
'It is hereby agreed between the Trustees of the First Presbyterian 
Church of Ulysses, in the County of Tompkins, and Abner Treman, 
of said town, that the said Abner Treman, his heirs and assigns, 
shall have the exclusive privilege of pasturing the premises within 
described forever, provided that the said Abner Treman, his heirs 
and assigns, shall not put into the said ground anything but calves 
and sheep ; the said Abner Treman, his heirs and assigns, yielding 
and paying therefor yearly, and every year, on the first day of May 
in each year, one pepper-corn.' " The same work says : 

"The tombstone of Abner Treman contains the following 
inscription : 'This monument is erected to Abner Treman, died Aug. 
13, 1823. aged 61 years. A native of Columbia Co., N. Y. A soldier

the timbers are still (1878) to be seen, a little above the stone mill of 
j. W. Houton, in the village of Trumansburg." 

The following in regard to Abner Treman is from the Trumans- 
burg Free Press of May 12, 1894: 

"One hundred years ago this winter Abner Treman brought 
from ihf J'.asi the first grist-mill erected in this township, in fact, the 
first mill between Owego and Geneva. The winter was exceptionally 
severe, and Mr. 'I iciuan was so badly frozen on his trip that it

became necessary to amputate one of his feet. This was in the 
second year of the history of Trumansburg. 

"The amputation was performed by Dr. Lewis Halsey, then a 
young physician of Seneca County, son of Hon. Silas Halsey, the 
first physician and one of the earliest settlers in the country between 
the lakes. 

"When Ur. Halsey was called by Mr. Treman, and saw that 
amputation was necessary, he said to him : 'You had better send for 
some one else. 1 am a young man and have not had the necessary 
experience.' But the old soldier had so much confidence in his 
young friend that he replied : 'Whoever else you get, I want you to 
take it off.' Then the young surgeon went to work and was just ten 
minutes in performing the operation and ligating the arteries." 

The Souvenir of the Trumansburg (N. Y.) Reunion (1897) says 
of him : 

"In mid-winter 1792, a revolutionary soldier living in Columbia 
county, resolved to brave the dangers and privations of a journey to 
the 'far west' and personally occupy the square mile of land for 
which he held the grant, and had located — on the map. Abner 
Treman was no common man ; he came from good stock, had proved 
his worth on the battle field, was in the very prime of his young 
manhood, full of that spirit of patriotism, progress and expansion 
that gave the nation her freedom and has made her the pride of its 
people, the admiration of its sister nations and the terror of its foes. 

"Mr. Treman was at this time thirty-one years old and his family 
consisted of a wife, Mary McLallen, two children and a brother-in- 
law, John McLallen, a lad nineteen years old. With this little family 
and all their earthly possessions, in a sleigh drawn by two horses he 
turned his face westward and began a journey that was the opening 
of a new life. After weeks of toilsome journeying in the beginning 
of the first month of spring, he for the first time saw the country 
that was to be the home of him and his generations. Just at night- 
fall after a beautiful day the httle caravan emerged from the forest 
on the hills to the south of what is now Ithaca. Out to the north 
and west lay the beautiful Cayuga. On its glassy surface was 
mirrored the dense forests which for as far as the eye could reach 
lined either shore. Masses of towering pine stood like sentinels in 
the midst of oak, hickory and maple, whose bare and leafless branches 



54 History of the Treman Family. 

seemed to seek shelter under the evergreen of its stalwart neighbor. 
At their feet lay the plain, buried under its snowy mantle, across 
which, somewhere out among the hills beyond but a few miles away, 
lay the haven of their hopes and destiny. The following day the 
hill was descended, the swampy plain crossed and striking an old 
Indian trail along the west bank of the Lake, night found them at 
Goodwin's Point, eight miles down the Lake, and the guests of Mr. 
Weyburn, who had located there the summer before. They were 
most hospitably entertained, and their joy on finding that they were 
to have at least one neighbor, can be imagined. From Goodwin's to 
their destination there was no trail, but Mr. Weyburn kindly offered 
his services as a guide, and the next day the party halted in the dense 
wood, near the center of Mr. Treman's grant, on the very spot where 
now stands the Cooper house, Main street. Here Mr. Treman 
struck his ax into a tree, saying, "Here I build my home,'' and here 
he did build it, a rude log hut with no windows or doors ; but it was 
home ; and from that little hut sprang the great race of Tremans. 
Trumansburg was born, 

"The following year Mr. Treman returned as far east as Utica, 
where he purchased a set of mill-stones and the machinery for a grist- 
mill. On his return he became lost in the wilderness, and when 
found was so badly frozen that amputation of one foot was found to 
be necessary. It is tradition that the operation was performed by a 
carpenter with the ordinary tools of his trade. 

"This first mill, erected in 1794, was the nucleus around which 
grew in a comparatively short time quite a settlement. The mill 
was built of logs on the site of the present Stone Mill. Its con- 
struction was of the simplest possible character. There was but one 
run of stone, and no elevators or conveyors of any description. The 
grain was emptied directly into the hopper and the product found its 
way by gravity through the various processes to the bag of the 
customer. In those days a grist-mill was the center of civilization 
for a large extent of territory which was being rapidly cleared and 
settled, and as one industry naturally opens the field for others so it 
was here. A blacksmith shop, shoe shop, carpenter shop, tailor 
shop and tavern soon followed, and in five years from the time that 
.•\bner Treman struck the first blow with his ax he saw clustered 
around him a bu.sy hive of industrious workers."

At the time of his death the Ithaca Journal said of him : 
"Abner Tremain was a hardy and brave soldier of the Revolution. 
In this character he served in the regular army with fidelity and 
honor, till he obtained a proper discharge. His arm helped to 
achieve that independence, and those social advantages, which we 
now enjoy. God shielded him in the day of battle. The savage 
shout, and the clangor of arms, were not permitted to announce the 
period of his mortality. Unlike many of his fellow-soldiers, he pre- 
served the lands which he merited and received for his military 
services, at the hands of a grateful country. Improved by his 
industry and economy, they are now chiefly possessed by his bereft 
widow and oft'spring. The deceased was one of the earliest settlers 
in his town. He experienced, in an eminent degree, the hardship 
and privations incident to such enterprizes. He has moved in most 
of our social circles. We have long known and respected him as a 
neighbor and friend. But the ardent eye of the soldier is suffused 
in the darkest shades ! The warrior's powerful arm is palsied ! 
While the companions of Washington and Warren, of Greene and 
Montgomery, are falling in rapid succession to the tomb, the bosom 
of the patriot heaves a sigh, and his eye drops a tear over the frailty 
of man." 

Calendar of Land Papers of New York says : 

"Abner Tremain and others, in Nov., 1791, gave a power of 
attorney to Jasper Hopper, to obtain their warrants from the United 
States for lands to which they were severally entitled, and when 
obtained to assign the same to the Surveyor General, for the use of 
the people of the State of New York," 

The following is a certified copv of Abner Treman's deed for 
his bounty lands :

[l. s.] Th. E. Benedict, Dep. Secretary of State. 

The following in regard to Abner Treman and the name of 
Trumansburg is from the Ithaca Journal : 

"The subjoined description of Ithaca and vicinity, in 1810, is 
taken from the private journal of DeWitt Clinton, written during his 
journey through this state as one of the commissioners appointed by 
the legislature to explore the country between the Lakes and the 
navigable waters of the Hudson, and to report upon the most eligible 
route for a water communication. 

"Governor Clinton arrived at Tremain's Village (Trumansburg) 
on August 10, 181 o, and passed the two succeeding days in Ithaca 
and vicinity. 

"Concerning this locality at that date the journal reads as follows : 

" 'We dined at Tremain's Village, so called from the soldier who 
owns the lot for military service. He resides here and is proprietor 
of the mills, and in good circumstances. The village has several 
houses, three taverns, and two or three stores, and mills in a ravine 
or hollow, formed by a creek which runs through it. It is in the 
town of Ulysses, and was formerly called Shin Hollow, by some 
drunken fellows, who, on the first settlement, frequented a log-tavern 
here, and on their way home broke their shins on the bad roads.' " 

The following lines are from a poem by Rev. Lewis Halsey, 
D.D., at the Trumansburg Reunion. Aug. 18-19, 1897, printed in the. 
Free Press of that date : 

"The very family whose fame 
Gave to Old Trumansburg its name, 
Has almost disappeared from view 
In Trumansburg we call the new."

365. David Truman. (Benjamin', Joseph^, Joseph'.) 77, 
Soldier in Rev. War. 

Connecticut in the Revolution says of him : 

"David Truman. Enlisted May 26, 1777, for the term of the 
war, in Capt. Ezekiel Sanford's Company of Redding, Conn.; in Col. 
Philip Burr Bradley's Rfld. Reg. (See David Freeman. Don't 
seem to be certain of Truman or Freeman.)'' 

Record of service of Connecticut men, in the War of the Revo- 
lution, War of 18 1 2, and Mexican War, compiled by authority of the 
General Assembly, Hartford, 1889, says: 

"Fifth Regiment 'Connecticut Line.' Formation of 1 777-1 781. 
Regiment raised for the 'Continental Line' of '77, to continue through 
the War. Recruited largely in Fairfield and Litchfield Counties 
with men from all parts of the state. Rendezous Danbury ; went into 
camp at Peekskill in spring of '77 and in September ordered to 
Pennsylvania with McDougal's brigade. Engaged in the battle of 
Germantown, Oct. 4th, '77, and suffered some loss. Assigned to 



62 History of the Treman Family. 

Huntington's Brigade and wintered at Valley Forge 'yy-'yS. On 
June 28, '78, present at battle of Monmouth and went into camp at 
Redding 'yS-'yg. In operation of '79 served in Heath's wing east 
of the Hudson ; its Light Co. under Capt. St. John detached to 
Meigs's Light Regt. Wintered at Morristown, '79-'8o, and in 
the following summer served in Conn, Division with main army on 
both sides of the Hudson. Wintered '8o-'8i at 'Camp Connecticut', 
village near Robinson's House opposite West Point ; there consoli- 
dated for formation of '8o-'83." 

"Name, David Trueman. Company, Capt. Sanford's. Enlist- 
ment, May 26, 1777. Term, War. Remarks, See David Freeman." 

"David Freeman, Company Sanford, enlisted May 26, 1777, for 
the War. Second Regiment 'Connecticut Line', David Freeman, 
paid from January ist, '81 to Dec. 31st, '81. This David Freeman 
(or Trueman) was a private, and the status is that this (regimt) 
formed from the Fifth and Seventh Regiments of previous formation." 

Again on page 364, under "Size Roll of Capt. Robinson's Com- 
pany, Feb. ist, 1783," is David Freeman. Resides Middletown. 
Enlisted May 24, 1777 for the War. (This is evidently not the 
David Freeman of the first quotation.) And again, on page 496 
there is a David Freeman in Capt. Shepherd's Company which 
marched March 31st, 1777, and was discharged May 19th. This 
also not likely the first David Freeman. Again page 634, in the list 
of pensioners is David Freeman, private, on the pension roles in 1818. 

This ends the clear references relating to David Freeman, to 
which name reference is made under David Trueman, it being very 
probable that the first was believed by the compiler to be the same 
man, or possibly the same. 

Again, page 644, in the list of the Revolutionary pensioners, is 
one Seth Trueman. 

370. Dk. Thomas Truman. (Jonathan^ Thomas-, Joseph'.) 
He married Jan, 31, 1773, by Rev. J. Snow, at Providence, Sarah 
Jenckes (daughter of Ebenezer Jenckes of Gloucester). Surgeon in 
the Independent Company of Light Infantry in Providence during 
the Revolution. The census for 1774 in Providence mentions 
Thomas Truman as having a family of five — himself, two sons under 
sixteen and two female adults. His will was proved Aug. 10, 1786;

He was born Sept. i, 1796. He married Oct. 16, 181 7, Mary 
Ayers (daughter of Richard Ayers. For an account of her ancestry 
see the History of the Ayers Family in this book.) She was born 
Dec. 19, 1799. He went abroad, visiting Amsterdam, Holland, 
before his marriage. He was a merchant and farmer, -and an 
able business man. She was a member of the Baptist Church at 
Mecklenburg for many years and lead in the singing. He was a 
Trustee of the Baptist Church. After her husband's death she 
removed to Ithaca, where she was for many years a member and 
regular attendant of the Park Baptist Church. She gave a fund to 
the Sunday School of her old home church and after her death, her 
son, Lafayette Lepine, gave a fund to the same church in memory of 
his parents. He was a Democrat in politics. 

At the time of her death the Ithaca Daily Journal said : 
"In the death of Mrs. Treman our community loses an old and 
most highly esteemed resident. Her long life was spent within the 
radius of Tompkins county, at Trumansburg, Mecklenburg and 
Ithaca. She was born at Trumansburg, Dec. 19th, 1799 ; moved to 
Mecklenburg after her marriage, and from there, in 1858, to Ithaca, 
where she has since resided. Mrs. Treman was marked by unusual 
religious earnestness, and her life was characterized, more than any-

thing else, by her service and interest in such matters. Early in life 
she became a member of the Baptist Church and was an earnest and 
ardent supporter of its teachings until her death. For many years 
she was prominently identified with the Mecklenburg Baptist Church, 
being the leader of its music, and increasing in many ways its use- 
fulness. Since her removal to Ithaca, she has been a beloved 
member of the Park Church of this place ; a society she dearly 
loved, and to whose prosperity she has been, in every way ever since 
her connection with it, a generous contributor. Her attendance at 
church was something remarkable, being maintained long after the 
infirmities of age had made it hazardous. She was trained in the 
old school of religious expression, and the fervor and depth of feeling 
which characterized her utterances on all religious themes, will not 
soon be forgotten." 

He died Nov. 14, 1837, at the comparatively early age of 41 
years, at Mecklenburg. She died Sept. 15, 1887, at Ithaca, N. Y, 
Residence Mecklenburg, N. Y.

560. Jared Treman. (Abner^, John^, Joseph", Joseph'.) 307. 
He was born Oct. 5, 1800. He married (ist), Nov. 23, 18 19, Anna 
Maria Louise (LePine) Paddock. 

Anne Marie Louise LePine, the wife of Jared Treman, was born 
Nov. 27, 1794. Her father, Joseph Roch Paul Gilbert Lafayette 
LePine, was a godson of the Countess de Charji^agnac, and a friend 
of General Lafayette, who was ten years his senior. He came to 
this country with Lafayette on the occasion of the latter's visit in 
1784. He owned or thereafter acquired extensive interests in San 
Domingo, and was also interested in a vessel or line of vessels 
operating between San Domingo, France and New York, 

I'rior to 1790 he had married Catherine Kearney, a lady of 
Holland Dutch descent residing in New York. Louise was the third

child ; her brother Joseph being five years older, and her elder sister 
dying in childhood. When Louise was five years old, she went with 
her mother and Joseph to join the husband and father in France, 
where they resided for a time, and where Madame LePine died. 
While Napoleon was first consul Louise went with her father and 
brother to San Domingo. It was during the troublous times on the 
island which marked the beginning of the century, and one morning 
Mr. LePine went out from the city to his plantation never to return. 
He undoubtedly perished in the general massacre of the whites. 

Disguised as an orange girl, the little Louise, then about ten 
years of age, escaped on board a merchant vessel bound for New 
York. Hidden beneath bags of coffee, she could hear the tramp 
and clanking guns of the black soldiers on the deck above searching 
for refugees ; and as long as she lived she vividly remembered the 
terrible experience. The escape of Joseph on a vessel bound for 
France ; its capture by a Spanish privateer ; his escape from the 
coast of Spain and return to his grandmother Kearney in New York, 
are equally thrilling. It was not many years after, when he was 
drowned in the East River. 

Bereft of parents, and too young to know how to find her 
relatives in New York, from whom she had been separated so long, 
Louise was taken into the family of Captain Mussneau, where she 
found a home until at the funeral of Alexander Hamilton, she was 
recognized by a nurse who had formerly been in her mother's employ. 
The nurse, taking the child's address, at once informed her grand- 
mother ; and that night after Louise had gone to bed, she was 
summoned to meet her brother Joseph. She immediately exclaimed, 
"My brother !" and rushed into his arms. 

In 18 10, she was married to James Paddock, by whom she had 
four children, Louisa, Emily, Ann Eliza and Catherine. Before the 
birth of Catherine the family had moved to Trumansburg, N. Y., 
where Mr. Paddock soon after died. 

In 18 19 she was married to Jared Treman. Soon after the 
birth of Adriana (1824), Gen'l Lafayette, who was then in this 
country, was informed of the fact and asked the privilege of naming 
the child after his wife. He wrote on a slip of paper now in posses- 
sion of the Stone family, " Adrienne is the name, to which I beg leave 
to join my most affectionate thanks." 



72 History of the Treman Family. 

But a small portion of the property interests held by her father 
was ever recovered except, that in return for the lands confiscated in 
San Domingo, a small annuity was secured from the French govern- 
ment, and paid to her for many years. 

She died Sept. 19, 1857. Her personal appearance is described 
by one who remembers her well as follows : "petite, erect, dark eyes, 
a pretty way of dressing her hair by parting it on one side, pretty 
caps, slender fingers, pleasant voice, full vocabulary, easy in manner, 
though dignified and rather reserved." 

He married (2nd), Feb. 16, 1859, Wealthy (Crampton) Clark 
(widow of Samuel E. Clark, M. D., of Trumansburg, N. Y.) She 
was born Sept. 8. 1804. She died March 19, 1881. He built the 
flouring mill at Enfield Falls, N. Y., which he owned many years. 
He afterwards resided at Enfield, Trumansburg and Millport, 
Chemung Co., N. Y. He also owned a flour mill at Millport. He 
was one of the earliest Masons in his part of the state, being a 
member of Trumansburg Lodge. ' He was a member of the Pres- 
byterian Church many years. Captain in the Militia. He was a 
Democrat in politics. 

At the time of his death the Ithaca Journal said of him : 
"He spent the business portion of his life at Enfield Falls, 
Tompkins County, building the grist mill at that point, and remain- 
ing until 1850. Then he bought the homestead at Trumansburg, 
but after a time removed to Millport, going into partnership with S. 
B. Banks in the purchase of the grist mill at that place. The firm of 
Treman cV Banks conducted operations for about twelve years, and 
two years afterwards Mr. Treman returned to Trumansburg where 
he lived until about 1881. His subsequent life was passed with his 
children, and the last year with his daughter, Mrs. S. B. Banks. 
The deceased was for many years a member of the Presbyterian 
Church, and one of the oldest Masons in the country. His life was 
one of industry and usefulness. His character commendable in all 
respects, right principles guiding all his actions." 

He died July 10, 1889, at Watkins, N. Y.

570. Abner Treman. (Abner**, John^ Joseph^ Joseph'.) 308. 
He was born Jan. 30, 1803. He married Jan. 30, 1823, Jemima 
Thomas. She was born Nov. i, 1803, at Bridgeport, Conn. He 
was the owner and proprietor of a flouring mill nearly all his life. 

At the time of his death the Trumansburg Sentinel said : 

"His life has been one of more than ordinary usefulness. In 
early life, and in his mature years, he had followed the milling 
business. He left this business only when impaired health, largely a 
result of his years, made his retirement a necessity. 

"While possessed of a mild disposition, he was very firm in his 
convictions. He was a bold advocate of principles which he thought 
to be true, without catering to public sentiment. He was a temperance 
man, when temperance was not as popular with the people as in these 
times. He was anti-slavery in his sentiments, and early identified 
his sympathy with the abolition party, long before that sentiment had 
reached ascendency in the history of the nation. 

"His religious life began in 1830. At that time he united with 
the Methodist Church, and remained a faithful member through all 
his subsequent life. His companion, Mrs. Jemima Treman, with 
whom he had lived in sweet conjugal affection for more than 64 
years, still survives him; though in very feeble health. 

"In his life Abner Treman made many friends, and very few 
enemies ; if, indeed, he ever had an enemy. Those who knew him 
longest and best, loved him most. His house was always open for 
the entertainment of ministers of the Gospel, and many of these have 
shared his hospitalities. Many with whom he worshiped in early 
life had preceded him to the Higher State of Being. While possessed 
with a mind of unusual strength, and of rare judgment, he was modest 
and retiring in disposition, 'esteeming others better than himself.' 
His death was more a result of old age, than from any apparent

disease. Having lived beyond 'the allotted time,' he has finished his 
work, and ended his mission upon the earth. 

"Conscious that his end was near, he conversed upon the 
subject with great freedom with his friends. When the time came 
for his departure, the faith which had sustained him so long, was 
equal to the hour ; and with no fear, and no regrets, he waited the 
coming of the death angel, and then, imparting his blessing upon 
his companion and children, entered into life eternal. Seldom have 
we the opportunity of recording the death of one whose life had been 
so pure, so eventful and true." 

The Ithaca Daily Journal said : 

"His life has been one of earnestness and uprightness, while 
possessing a nature gentle and kind, yet was uncompromising in his 
convictions of right. He was forgiving and charitable in all his 
intercourse with his fellow men. He commanded the respect of all 
who came in contact with him, and was a liberal giver for all church 
and charitable purposes. He was a quiet and earnest Christian, 
exemplifying his profession by his daily life. He will be greatly 
missed by the entire community and all who knew him. The 
bereaved family have the sympathy of all. He leaves an aged wife 
and four daughters to mourn his loss."

the Treman Family Association, 1879., 

The following account of the Treman Family Reunion is from 
the Owego (N. Y.) Times of Aug. 21, 1879 • 

''On Thursday last the Trumans of this village and vicinity, and 
the Tremans of Tompkins county, held their first reunion at Taghanic 
Falls. There is one peculiarity about this family, the residents in 
Tompkins County spell their name Treman and in Tioga County 
Truman. About five o'clock on Thursday morning last, the Truman 
family consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Truman, of Flemingville, 
Lyman Truman, Jr., and sister, Mrs. Gorman, Orin T. Gorman and 
wife, Mrs. Dodge, Orin Truman, Geo. Truman and wife, William 
Truman and wife, Gilbert Truman and wife, A. Chase Thompson, 
wife and child, W. P. Stone, wife and daughter, B. L. Truman and 
wife, G^rge Stratton and Lyman Stanbrough, left Owego for Ithaca. 



76 History of the Treman Family. 

They arrived in that village about seven o'clock and immediately 
took the steamboat at Cayuga Lake for Goodwin's Point. They were 
met by Leonard Treman and Mr. and Mrs. William Thompson, and 
taken in carriages to the residence of Mr. Thompson, where they 
were elegantly entertained, and were then taken to Taghanic Falls, 
where the reunion took place. After the festivities of the day were 
over, the Owego delegation was brought to Ithaca in Mr. Treman's 
steam vacht, and then came by cars to Owego, arriving here in the 
evening. The party wishes to return their thanks to William Thomp- 
son and family and other friends, for the numerous courtesies 
extended them." 

We clip the following in regard to the reunion from the Ithaca 
Journal : 

" 'The first reunion and picnic of the Treman and McLallen 
families took place at Taghanic Falls north side, Aug. 14, 1879. 
The early morning, which indicated a stormy, unpleasant time, soon 
gave way to a most delightful day, neither too hot nor too cold, with 
a cool north breeze, it seemed as if nature herself had done her best 
to render the occasion a delightful one. With the arrival of the 
regular steamer Frontenac, from Ithaca at 71-2 o'clock, came a 
delegation of about thirty of the Truman family from Owego, and 
Mr. Wm. Thompson, of Goodwin's point, very kindly furnished 
carriages to convey the party to the ground. At about ten o'clock 
the stream of carriages began to arrive and from that time until 
noon the incessant arrival made one wonder if the population of 
Tompkins County was composed entirely of the families of Treman 
and McLallen. At about noon the Ithaca delegation arrived escorted 
by the Mecklenburg cornet band and officers of the day who met 
them near the lake. The members of the two families from Owego 
and different parts of I'ompkins County composed the greater part 
of the assemblage, but numerous relations were present from Meck- 
lenburg, Elmira, New York, Olean and Westfield, Pa. 

" 'At about one o'clock the company were invited by the com- 
mittee of arrangements to the grove where long tables were literally 
groaning beneath the weight of good things which had been brought 
to satisfy the wants of the inner man. In a short time the large 
company numbering, it was estimated, fully four hundred persons, ] 
were seated and a pleasant sight it was to look upon. In a short 



Fifth Generation. 77 

time it became quiet and a photograph of the scene was taken by 
Hall, an artist from Trumansburg, after which Rev. J. E. Cathell 
invoked the blessing of the Giver of all good upon the company 
present. The onslaught began and in a short time, the hunger of 
the multitude being satisfied, a resolution was offered and passed 
that a similar gathering take place on the second Thursday of 
August, 1880. After which the following officers were elected for 
the ensuing year. 

'* 'President, E. R. Treman ; Vice Presidents, Jared Treman, D. 
K, McLallen, Abner Treman, Wm. H. McLallen, Aurora, 111., Elias 
Treman, Ithaca, George Truman, Owego ; Secretary, Leonard 
Treman, Trumansburg; Treasurer, G. J. McLallen. 

" 'Prayer was next offered by Rev. J. J. Phelps, which was 
followed by an original poem written for the occasion by Rev. 
Dwight Williams, the preacher poet, who was followed by Rev. J. E. 
Cathell, who made a short speech. Next, Rev. J. J. Phelps made a 
short but happy speech and the exercises at the table terminated. 

" 'It being the wish of many present, about a dozen of the older 
members of both families were grouped and a photograph of them 
taken by the artist, Mr. Hall, and a more venerable group it would 
be hard to find. May their days be long upon the land. A book 
was kept in which all members of either family were requested to 
record their names and we believe nearly all did so. 

" 'The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed ; people who 
had never met each other before becoming acquainted without the 
formality of an introduction, saying : 'We are all cousining today, let 
us know each other better.' To the enjoyment of the occasion the 
genial proprietors of the Taughannock House, Messrs. Root & Burg- 
hardt, contributed very largely, doing all in their power for the comfort 
of their guests. Keeping the house as they do on strictly temperance 
principles, makes it a very desirable place for such gatherings. As the 
day grew on those from a distance began to think of returning home 
and each went feeling that it had been good to be there and that if 
their lives were spared the second Thursday in August, 1880, would 
again find them gathered together to renew the acquaintance made 
that day. A resolution was passed to the effect that an account of 
the gathering should be furnished the Ithaca Journal and in accord- 
ance with that request I offer the foregoing outline of the day's 
pleasant event. F, B. A.' "

MRS. ALMIRA CORLEY TREMAN. 



Sixth GrE^EHi^Tioisr. 



1800. Leonard Treman. (Ashbel^, Abner'', John', Joseph', 
Joseph'.) 541. He was born June 18, 1819, at Mecklenburg, N. 
Y. He attended the Ithaca Academy, 1834-5. He married, Oct. 
20, 1846, Almira Corley (daughter of John Corley, merchant, of New 
York City, and Katharine Fernhower of Philadelphia, son of Henry 
Corley and Katharine Corley, who came from Germany in 1782 to 
New York City and afterwards resided at New Rochelle, N. Y. The 
history of the Corley family is as follows : Henry Corley came to this 
country from Germany in the year 1782 and landed *n New York. 
Soon afterwards moved to New Rochelle ; was a millwright and 
carpenter by trade. His wife's name was Katharine. Had five sons 
and two daughters, born in succession as follows, viz : Henry, Joseph, 
Casper, Eliza, Katharine, John and Christopher. He lived in New 
Rochelle about ten years, when he died and was buried there, his 
son John then being twelve years old. About two years after that 
the family moved to New York. Katharine, his wife, died in New 
York in about the year 1824 and was buried in the Presbyterian 
Cemetery between Rivington and Staunton Streets. She was about 
ninety years old. John Corley, the son of Henry and Katharine 
Corley, was born in Germany in the year 1782. He came to New 
York with his father's family when eighteen months old, moved to 
New Rochelle and lived there till he was twelve years old, then his 
father having died the family moved to New York. About that time 
John went to Hudson, where he lived with a man four years, working 
at all kinds of work and then came back to New York. Soon after 
was bound for the term of five years to Cams & Hazlett, on John 
Street, near Cliff, to learn the chairmaker's trade. After working out 
his apprenticeship he worked jour work for about three years, when 
work became very dull and he got out of work. He then went into 



98 History of the Treman Family. 

the grocery business at the corner of Fiatta and Henry Streets. 
At the end of one year he sold out and in the year 1812 
during the embargo he went into the chair business at No. 7 
Peck SHp. He was there 7 years, then went to west side of Pearl 
Street, near Beekman Street. Afterward he moved to Franklin 
Square and continued there 18 years. The lot ran through to Cliff 
Street. Lived on the same premises. He was married on Dec. 27, 
1806, being one year after the great eclipse, to Katharine Fernhower 
who was born in Philadelphia in 1787, but at that time lived in New 
York. John Corley was baptized July 2, 1814. He died Feb. 8, 
1869. Katharine, his wife, was baptized March 3, 1816. She died 
Nov. 22, 1853). Almira Corley was born May 25, 1823. He was 
the first of the notable Treman brothers to take up his residence in 
Ithaca. After leaving school he entered the store of Wood & Nye 
at Ithaca as a clerk where he remained two years, until his father's 
death when he returned home. Having a natural aptitude for 
business he again took up a business life, becoming a clerk in the 
hardware store of Edmund G. Pelton in Ithaca. In the year 1844 
his brother Lafayette joined him and they purchased Pelton's busi- 
ness and established the firm of L. & L. L. Treman, which became 
Treman Brothers when their younger brother, Elias, joined the firm 
in 1849. They were associated together in business over half a 
century. He was one of the organizers and the first President of both 
the Ithaca Water Works Company, 1864-88, and the Ithaca Gas 
Light Company, 1870-88. President of the Ithaca Savings Bank, 
1887-8. Director in the Newfield and Ithaca Plank Road, 1850. 
Director in the Ithaca and Athens Railroad Company, 1869-74, and 
Cayuga Lake Railroad Company, 187 1-4. He was a Democrat in 
politics. Trustee of the Village of Ithaca, 1850 and 1869. Treas- 
urer and Trustee of the Congregational Church many years. 

Landmarks of Tompkins County says of him : 

"Leonard Treman's early education was obtained in the district 
schools of his native village, finishing with a term at the Ithaca 
Academy in the winter of 1834-5. In the latter year he took up his 
first occupation on his own account by engaging as a clerk in the 
store of Wood & Nye, in Ithaca, where he remained two years, when 
his father died and he returned to Mecklenburg. His early tastes 
were wholly turned towards a mercantile career, and with the purpose 



Sixth Generation. 99 

of making that his life work he again came to Ithaca and entered the 
employ of Edmund G. Pelton, who was carrying on the hardware 
trade. From that time onward until near the time of his death he 
retained his connection with that business. In the year 1844 his 
brother, Lafayette L., joined him, and the firm of L. & L. L. Treman 
was founded as successors of Mr. Pelton. The business prospered 
as most business will when superintended by men of ability, integrity 
and industry. On the first of February, 1849, Elias, the youngest 
brother, came to Ithaca and joined the firm, the style becoming 
Treman & Brothers. On the first of February, 1857, Leander King, 
a cousin of the Tremans, who had been long and faithful in their 
employ, was admitted to the partnership and the style was again 
changed to Treman, King & Co., and so remains at the present time 
(1894), though other changes have been made in its membership. 

"In the year 1849, when Elias Treman came into the firm, they 
acquired a foundry and machine business then located on the East 
Hill on the south bank of Cascadilla Creek. These works were 
subsequently burned and the business was then transferred to the 
corner of Cayuga and Green Streets, and was very successfully con- 
ducted under the firm name of Treman & Brothers and distinct from 
the hardware trade. Under the firm name of Treman & Co., Leonard 
Treman also established a general hardware business in Watkins, 
Schuyler Co., N. Y., which was continued until a few years ago. 

"While these extensive operations would seem to have been 
sufficient to satisfy the ambition of most men, as well as to employ 
one's whole time, such was not the case with Mr. Treman or his 
brothers. They foresaw the future importance of the village and its 
needs, and were the builders and owners of a large portion of the 
stock of the Ithaca Water Works, which has continued in the family 
ever since, and they took a large share of the stock of the Ithaca 
Gas Light Company. Mr. Treman was made president of the former 
company in 1864 and of the latter company in 1870 and held the 
offices until his death. It hardly need be added that the various 
important positions to which he was chosen were filled and their 
duties administered with the same faithfulness and ability that had 
long characterized the conduct of his private afTairs. In the business 
and social life of Ithaca his position was an enviable one and was 
honored by him in the same degree that it honored him."

loo History of the Treman Family. 

At the time of his death the Ithaca Democrat said : 
"In the death of Mr. Leonard Treman, which occurred last 
Friday morning, our community has lost another good citizen whose 
hold upon its business and social life was a strong one. Seldom has 
a death here made a more profound impression. It was hoped that 
his illness, caused by a disease of the spine producing muscular 
atrophy, would not prove fatal, but as he had not been in robust 
health for some time his powers of resistance were unable to cope 
with a malady that might not have proved immediately fatal to a 
younger or a stronger man. Mr. Treman had nearly attained the age 
allotted to man, being sixty-eight years old. He leaves a widow and 
one daughter, Mrs. John Bush, of Buffalo. Deceased was the senior 
member of one of our oldest and most reliable business firms, first 
known as Treman Brothers, successors to Edmund G. Pelton in the 
foundry and hardware business, and latterly as Treman, King & Co., 
firm names which have long been associated with enterprises that 
have added greatly to the growth and prosperity of Ithaca. Mr. 
Treman was the oldest son of the late Ashbel Treman, of Mecklen- 
burg. Two brothers, Lafayette and Elias Treman, and one sister, 
Mrs. Charles D. Johnson, are the surviving members of his family. 
He began life, as so many of our self made men do, as a clerk, in 
order to obtain that knowledge of business methods that he was 
afterwards to make so valuable to himself and others in building up 
a large business on enduring foundations. The firm which he founded 
has been dissolved only by death. As a village official, the leading 
spirit of several local railroad enterprises, director of the Tompkins 
County National Bank, president of the Savings Bank, Ithaca Water 
Works and Gas Light companies, and trustee and treasurer of the 
Congregational Church, Mr. Treman well and faithfully performed 
all the duties which these various interests required. In his social 
relations, his genial manners were but the expression of a kind and 
sympathetic nature. A staunch Democrat, he was always true to his 
party and rejoiced in its success. In closing this imperfect tribute 
to a character and career of marked worth and usefulness, we regret 
to so ill express the loss that this community has sustained by the 
death of Leonard Treman." 

The Ithaca Daily Journal said : 

"Leonard Treman died of spinal disease and muscular atrophy 



Sixth Generation. ioi 

shortly after eight o'clock this morning. Mr, Treman's health had 
been feeble for some months, but it was not until about three weeks 
ago that he was obliged to relinquish his numerous business cares 
and remain a prisoner at home. When first prostrated it was 
generally hoped and expected that his naturally robust constitution 
would prove sufficiently strong to throw oK the ailment and permit a 
speedy return to health. But about two weeks ago his family realized 
that his condition was critical and that the end was surely at hand. 
Mr. Treman was one of Ithaca's landmarks, having been very prom- 
inently identified with the community's important industries for more 
than two generations. 

"Mr. Treman personally superintended the many important and 
varied interests of which he had long been the head, and regularly 
fulfilled the public duties that had claim to his attention. In 1862 
he went to Europe and visited England, Ireland, Scotland, Switzer- 
land and France. 

"Mr. Treman was a man of military bearing, of unfailing courtesy 
and possessed a well-poised judgment. His knowledge of history 
was found in familiar conversation with friends to be quite thorough 
and extensive. 

"His loyalty to truth and justice was well known. He never 
gave his support to a policy or institution until convinced of the 
claims of it, and any cause or friend once gaining his adhesion, his 
devotion could be absolutely relied upon so long as sound reasons 
for his support remained in force. He was a man of tender sympathy 
and ever ready to minister to those who were in trouble. His loss 
will be deeply felt by the Congregational Church and by the 
community." 

The Ithacan said : 

"Mr. Leonard Treman, one of Ithaca's most prominent, wealthy 
and influential citizens, passed away from earth life last Friday 
morning. The sad event cast a pall over the entire community, for 
his friends were legion. Mr. Treman had suffered from failing health 
for several months, but it was not until about three weeks before his 
demise that he reluctantly laid aside the cares of business, to which 
he had so long been accustomed, for the confinement of his home 
and the sick room — never, alas, to leave alive. Spinal disease and 
muscular atrophy was the cause of his death. There was no thought 



I02 History of the Treman Family. 

at first of a fatal termination of the disease and his death seemed 
sudden to the many who were wont to meet him daily in the numerous 
circles of business with which he was so prominently connected. 

"Leonard Treman has filled numerous positions of public trust 
and responsibility in the village of his choice, having served the 
people as trustee and director of many important enterprises during 
its history. For many years he was trustee of the Ithaca Savings 
Bank, until recently when he was elected its president. He was 
director of the Tompkins County National Bank, president of the 
Ithaca Water Works Company and the Ithaca Gas Light Company. 
Mr. Treman had also for several years been a trustee and treasurer 
of the Congregational Church of Ithaca. He has ever fulfilled with 
promptness and faithfulness the various duties devolving upon these 
several important positions, and his loyalty to truth and justice are 
too well known to need comment." 

At the time of her death the Ithaca Daily Journal said : 
"At the age of 13 she came with her parents, on a canal-packet- 
boat — the only mode of travel, in that day, between New York and 
Ithaca, excepting coaches. Here since that time she has resided. 
Mrs. Treman derived from her German parents most estimable and 
solid traits of character. She possessed a charitable disposition and 
sound judgment, and her speech was guided by instinctive wisdom. 
With a liberal hand she responded to the demands of religion and 
philanthropy. Mrs. Treman as well as her late lamented husband, 
was profoundly concerned in the welfare of the church to which she 
belonged. 

"In the city hospital, also, she was deeply interested, and before 
she succumbed to illness she had made wise arrangements for the 
completion of the furnishing of a room in that institution. The society 
of Ithaca experiences a great loss in the death of Mrs. Treman. 
An only surviving sister, Mrs. Sammis, resides in New York City." 

He died May 25, 1888, at Ithaca, N. Y. She died May 19, 
1897, at Ithaca. Residence Ithaca, N. Y.

LAFAYETTE LEPINE TREMAN 




MRS. ELIZA MACK TREMAN 



Sixth Generation. 103 

1804. Lafayette Lepine Treman. (Ashbel^ Abner'', John^ 
Joseph", Joseph'.) 542. He was born April 3, 182 1, at Mecklen- 
burg, N. Y. He attended Penn Yan Academy. " He married April 
9, 1849, Eliza Ann Mack (daughter of Hon. Ebenezer Mack and 
Eleanor Dey, daughter of Peter Dey and Eleanor Board. For IffuIT 
account of her ancestry see the History of the Mack, Dey and 
Board Families, in this volume.) He was one of three brothers who 
have left their impress upon the history of the City of Ithaca, N. Y., 
where they spent nearly all their lives, taking a leading part in the 
social, business, religious, educational and political affairs of its 
people. An older brother, Leonard, had preceded him in Ithaca 
but he soon joined him and formed the firm of L. & L. L. Treman 
in the hardware business ; the firm name became Treman Brothers 
upon the accession of their younger brother, Elias, to the firm in 
1849, ^^^^ ^v^th various changes in the firm name, the three brothers 
were associated together in business for a period of over fifty years. 
He commenced his business life as a clerk in the hardware store of 
James D. Morgan, at Penn Yan, N. Y. He came to Ithaca in 1844, 
to engage in business for himself and ever afterwards made it his 
home. The success which he won was due to his own energy and 
talents together with a courtesy and kindliness which ever made him 
friends. His activities did not entirely cease even in advancing 
years till age compelled him to devolve many of his duties upon his 
son who had been trained to, and did, succeed him in most of his 
business positions. His business activity may be shown by the 
many official positions which he held. He was elected President of 
the Tompkins County National Bank in 1873 ^^'^ held the position 
until his death in 1900. Under his administration this bank became 
known as one of the soundest financial institutions in the interior of 
the State. He was also one of the organizers of both the Ithaca 
Gas Light Company and the Ithaca Water Works Company and was 
President of both companies from 1888 until his death. He was 
also a Director of the Ithaca Trust Company, and of the Lyceuin 
Company. Upon the organization of the Ithaca and Athens Rail- 
road Company he was elected its Secretary and held the position 
several years. He was a Democrat in politics but did not care for 
office. He early took an interest in the affairs of St. John's Protest- 
ant Episcopal Church, of which he was a member and Warden over 



I04 



History of the Treman Family. 



fifty years, 1 847-1 900, being a generous contributor to the support of 
its many interests. He also remembered the church of his father 
and mother, and just before he died he sent the Baptist Church at 
Mecklenburg a handsome fund in their memory. In his death 
Ithaca lost one of its most upright citizens, one who was foremost in 
every movement for the welfare of the community in which he lived. 
His presence was ever welcome in the Church and social circle and 
if he had any enemies they did not make their presence known. 
The officials of the bank and other institutions over which he pre- 
sided, passed appropriate resolutions upon his death, recognizing 
his worth and paying just tribute to his memory. He was a member 
of St. Augustine Commandery, Knights Templar, of Ithaca. He 
was an Ensign in the old State militia. 

Landmarks of Tompkins County says of him : 

"He received his education in the common schools supple- 
mented by a period of study in the Penn Yan Academy. In that 
village he found his first employment away from home as a clerk in 
the hardware store of James D. Morgan. In the year 1844, when 
he was twenty-three years old, he came to Ithaca and joined with his 
elder brother, Leonard, in the hardware trade under the firm name 
of L. & L. L. Treman, succeeding Edmund G. Pelton. 

''This young man was possessed of exceptional natural business 
ability, which he had assiduously cultivated during his clerkship at 
Penn Van, and when the two brothers joined their interests in 
Ithaca it was with a firm determination to accomplish just what they 
ultimately did accomplish, the building up of a successful and exten- 
sive trade in an establishment that would be an honor to the place 
and bring them a justly earned competence. This determined pur- 
pose has governed Mr. Treman ever since, and while other interests 
have in later years claimed much of his attention, he has never per- 
mitted his allegiance to his first legitimate business to falter. 

"The qualifications before noted soon gave Mr. Treman an 
acknowledged position among the most enterprising business men of 
Tompkins County, while his reputation for staunch integrity led to 
his being called to several positions of trust and responsibility. He 
served for a time as Secretary of the Ithaca and Athens Railroad 
before its consolidation with the Lehigh Valley system. He early 
became a Director in the Tompkins County National Bank, and in 



Sixth Generation. 105 

1873 was chosen its President, a position which he still holds, (1894). 
Under his skillful financial guidance this sound old institution is 
known as one of the most successful of the banks of the interior of 
the State. In 1888 he was made President of the Ithaca Gas Light 
Company and the Ithaca Water Works Company, both of which 
positions he still occupies. In their management his counsel has 
always been for enterprising liberality towards the public, a policy 
that has at the same time been to the interest and prosperity of the 
companies. He is also a director and one of the principal promoters 
of the Lyceum Company, which has just completed one of the 
finest opera houses in the State. He is also one of the original 
Board of Directors of the Ithaca Trust Company. In all of these 
positions Mr. Treman has won the entire confidence and respect of 
those with whom he has been associated. Modest and retiring in 
his temperament, with unfailing courtesy for all and a broad charity 
and kindliness for the weaknesses of human nature, Mr. Treman has 
found a warm place in the community outside of his large circle of 
business connections. He is a member of the St. John's Protestant 
Episcopal church, and since 1847 has continuously held the office of 
Warden, contributing cheerfully of his means to the building up of 
the cause of religion. Like other members of his family Mr. 
Treman is a Democrat in politics, but entirely without desire or 
taste for public office." 

At the time of his death the Ithaca Democrat said editorially : 

"With the death of Lafayette L. Treman there passes away from 
the city of Ithaca one of its most highly honored and justly esteemed 
citizens. 

"For more than fifty years Mr. Treman has been prominently 
identified with the business life of this community. Coming here 
in 1844, with his brother, Leonard Treman, he engaged in the hard- 
ware business. He lived to see a modest hardware store of early 
days, in what was then only a small village, grow to be one of the 
most prosperous and one of the largest mercantile establishments of a 
thriving city. 

"Among the men who have won success in the business life of 
Ithaca, of few can it be more truthfully said than of Mr. Treman, 
that success was truly earned and well deserved. 



io6 History of the Treman Family. 

"His enterprise, his good business judgment, his industry, his 
uitegrity won for him the high position in this community which he 
enjoyed. Of his customers he made friends. His conscientious 
regard for fairness and justice in business transactions led him to be 
accorded many positions of trust and responsibility and the qualities 
which made him a successful merchant made him a successful banker. 

"He was the President of the Ithaca Gas Light Company and 
the Ithaca Water Works Company and his management of these 
enterprises was always characterized by a generous and considerate 
treatment of the working classes. 

•'Mr. Treman was a Democrat in politics, and a true Democrat 
by nature. No man in humble station was by him despised. 'Before 
man made us citizens, great Nature made us men.' Mr. Treman 
recognized in all men something of worth. Courtesy and kindness 
were not by him reserved for some, but were habitually extended to 
all with whom he came in contact. His death will' be sincerely 
mourned by all who knew him." 

The Ithaca Daily Journal said editorially : 

"Ithaca loses in the death of Lafayette L. Treman a character 
of whose kind there are all too few representatives. Upright and 
respected all his life, manly and admired all his maturity, Mr. Treman 
held the confidence of the community for many years. He was a 
leader in business affairs, a pioneer in public spirit, and a promoter 
of public improvements. In church and in charity he was ever ready 
with work and with substance ; his counsel was valued and followed. 

"Mr. Treman was distinctively a man of positive character, of 
energetic and forceful mind. He was progressive in all that the 
word implies — forward and upward. His daily association was a 
benefit ; his converse was uplifting ; his doings were an example. 
Cleanly and commendable in words and works, Mr. Treman was 
highly and justly esteemed, and his memory will be a constant 
inspiration to those who knew him." 

In another column the same paper said : 

"Lafayette L. Treman passed to the other world at 4 o'clock 
this morning after a brief illness, during which his family had been 
encouraged to hope that he might recover. The announcement this 
morning on the doors of the Treman, King & Co. stores, 'Closed on 



Sixth Generation. 107 

account of the death of Lafayette L. Treman, one of the founders of 
the firm,' was read by hundreds of the people, and through all the 
city during the day the history of the deceased was the most promi- 
nent topic discussed. 

"He was a member of the St. John's Episcopal Church and since 
1847 has continuously held the office of warden, contributing cheer- 
fully of his means to the building up of the cause of religion. 

"Like other members of his family Mr. Treman was a Democrat 
in politics, but entirely without desire or taste for public ofifice. 

"For nearly sixty years the name of Lafayette L. Treman has 
been coupled in Ithaca with purity and modesty, rare intellectual 
power, gentleness, consideration for employes, firmness, integrity. 
He was a model husband and father, always looking far in adyance 
of his day ; profoundly respected and trusted by the entire community ; 
a sincere churchman, a loyal friend and an ideal of physical manhood, 
not indicating his ripe age. All the honors due from mankind to 
such a combination of virtues and graces are now cheerfully and 
publicly accorded to him who laid them down this morning for final 
judgment. 

"Not one word has been uttered about him except of praise and 
respect, and of sympathy for the family whose loss and sorrow are so 
great." 

The Ithaca Daily News said : 

"This morning Ithaca lost one of its oldest and most highly 
esteemed citizens, in the death of Lafayette L. Treman. He was the 
last of three brothers who took a very active interest in the business 
life of Ithaca during the last half century. For several months Mr. 
Treman has been in failing health and to his family and nearest 
friends his death at this time was not wholly unexpected." 

At a meeting of the directors of the Tompkins County National 
Bank the following memorial was presented : 

"In the death of Lafayette L. Treman, which occurred on the 
27th of April, the Tompkins County National Bank suffers the irre- 
parable loss of its president, and this community one of its most 
upright and prominent citizens. 

"He died at the ripe age of 79 years, after a life more than 
ordinarily filled with the activities of a varied and successful business

career For more than half a century he left the imprint, of his own 
personality upon the numerous business enterprises, both corporate 
and private, with which he was identified, and to all of them he 
brou-ht the aid of his wise counsel and sound judgment, and con- 
tributed his unceasing effort to promote their successful devel- 
opment. 

-This Bank owes much to his devotion. He was first elected 
as a director 42 years ago, and was chosen its president in the year 
,873, and he continued to hold this office until the time of his 
death. During all these years he has given his best efforts to up- 
build this institution, and its present highstanding is owing largely 
to his untiring energy in its behalf. 

"He was a safe counselor, and an earnest advocate of a high 
standard in all business methods. He commanded the respect of 
all classes in this community, not only because of his probity m all 
business affairs, but by reason as well of his manly virtues in his 
•private life. His death is universally lamented and will cause 
especial sorrow in his family circle, and yet the grief there as every- 
where will be tempered with the fond recollection of a well spent and 

a well rounded life. 

•'Resolved, That the foregoing be spread upon the minutes of 
the Bank, and a copy thereof suitably engrossed, be presented to the 
family— to whom in their bereavement we tender our sincere 
sympathy." 

Minutes adopted April 28, 1900, at a special meeting of the 
Vestry of St. John's Church : 

'•Since it has pleased Almighty God, in His providence, to 
terminate the earthly life of our late associate, Lafayette L. Tremaai, 
Senior Warden of St. John's Church, 

"Therefore the Rector and Vestry, representing the whole parish 
and congregation, desire to put on record our sense of the great loss 
we have sustained in the departure of one who as Vestryman and 
Warden had served so long and so faithfully. 

"It is now fifty-three years since he was first elected Vestryman. 
Thirty-nine years ago he became Warden and was re-elected each 
year. In the discharge of the duties thus imposed upon him he was 
ever most faithful. His interest in the church was sincere and 
unwavering. Mis judgment was sound, and his advice invaluable. 



Sixth Generation. 109 

His hand was always open and his benefactions constant. Kind 
and courteous to all, he was universally esteemed and beloved, and 
was the ideal of a Christian gentleman. 

"His life was rounded out to completeness and in the fullness of 
days he was gathered to his fathers in the communion of the Church ;, 
in the comfort of a reasonable hope, and in perfect charity M'ith all; 
men. With full hearts we bid him farewell for a time, and commend 
him to the holy keeping of Him whom he faithfully served. 

"In the full consciousness of our own loss we turn to those who 
are indeed bereaved, and we offer to his widow and children our 
tenderest sympathy in the heavy trial which has befallen them. We 
commend them to Him who alone can give strength in the time of 
trouble, and that eternal peace which passeth understanding.

At the time of his making the gift to the Mecklenburg Baptist 
Church the Ithaca Daily Journal said : 

" 'A Blessed Christmas Day.' A Gift of $1,000 by Lafayette L. 
Treman to the Mecklenburg Baptist Church. At the close of the 
musical program on Christmas night in the Mecklenburg Baptist 
Church, the pastor. Rev. J. Bruce Abbott, made an announcement 
to his people and friends of a 'Christmas Gift' of one thousand 
dollars from Lafayette L. Treman, to that society. In the letter 
accompanying the same Mr. Treman states his wish to thus honor 
his beloved Christain mother, long a member of said church. Said 
gift coming to and also honoring his cousin, Mrs. Lufanny Grant, 
the oldest living member of the church, who lovingly handed the 
same over to its pastor and people at once. Well, indeed, did it 
conclude the most excellent exercises, and add to brighten the 
already brilliantly decorated little chapel, and also brighten many 
eyes and faces, and make glad all true hearts of God's children. It 
so impressed others that glad tears of joy were visible and put such

Love in His Son (for lost humanity). 

"Other members of this loyal family have already remembered 
this dear old church in honor of their parents, as well as others of 
different families now living in this vicinity, and it will be indeed 
good news to all to know of this last gift and also to know that our 
finances are already in good investments, and satisfactory to the 
church. 

"A unanimous vote of this church, thanking our dear benefactor 
and brother for his generosity to us, is the desire of all concerned."

was born June i, 1832, at Stratford, Conn. He was the youngest of 
three brothers who settled at Ithaca and became noted in its history 
as successful business men and prominent citizens for over half a 
century. After leaving school he entered the hardware store of his 
brothers at Ithaca in 1847, and two years afterwards became a 
partner in the business under the firm name of Treman Brothers. 
He was one of the organizers and a Director in both the Ithaca Gas 
Light Company and the Ithaca Water Works Company. Director 
in the Tompkins County National Bank several years and also in the 
Ithaca Trust Company. Trustee of the Ithaca Savings Bank. 
President of the Village of Ithaca, 1861. Captain of the Protective 
Police of the Fire Department eighteen years. Chief Engineer of 
the Fire {department, 1866. Member of the Board of Education 
several years. He was a member of the Citizens' Committee which 
prepared the Charter of the City of Ithaca. He was a Democrat in 
politics. He was for many years a Trustee of the Presbyterian 
Church of Ithaca. He built the Lyceum Block at Ithaca in 1898. 

"Landmarks of Tompkins County" says of him : 
"Elias Treman attended school in his native village and finished 
in the Penn Yan Academy, after which he entered the employ of 
Morgan & Armstrong in Penn Yan as clerk in their hardware store 
(where his brother was already engaged) and remained there six 
years. In 1847 ^^^ came to Ithaca and entered the employ of the 
then well established firm of L. & L. L. Treman, becoming a partner 
in said firm on February i, 1849, the style being thereby changed to 
Treman & Brothers. In this connection he has ever since remained 
to the present time (1894). Uniting his admirable business qualifica- 
tions with those of his brothers, a foundry and machine shop were 
built and the hardware trade largely extended. When the building 
of the water works was taken up he was made one of the directors 
of the company, and also in the Gas Company, which positions he 
holds at the present time. A large share of the burden of directing 
the mercantile business of the firm falls upon his shoulders. He is a 
Democrat in politics, like his brothers, but also like them has never 
become an aspirant for public office, though he has capably filled 
the position of President of the Village of Ithaca. Mr. Treman 
enjoys to the fullest extent the confidence and respect of the 
community." 



£12 History of the Treman Family. 

He was thrown from his carriage and seriously injured June ist, 
1098, and died from the effects of his injuries. 

The following account of the accident is from the Ithaca Daily 
Journal, June 2, 1898: 

"Our well known townsman, Elias Treman, met with a serious 
accident yesterday afternoon while driving to his summer cottage on 
the west shore of the lake. He was accompanied by Charles D. John- 
son, who sat with him on the rear seat of a democrat wagon, Jasper 
Woodsin driving Mr. Treinan's gray horse singly. When nearly 
opposite the James L. Baker place a snake was seen gliding across 
the road at which the driver aimed a blow with his whip. The swish 
of the whip startled the horse, causing it to spring forward so abruptly 
that the seat and its occupants were thrown out. Mr. Johnson was 
slightly stunned by the fall but quickly regained control of his senses. 
He saw- Mr. Treman lying motionless in the road, with the seat 
across his body, he having struck on the back of his neck, and sus- 
tained a dislocation of the neck. Mr. Treman was placed in Professor 
John L. Morris's carriage, which came along opportunely, and brought 
to his home in this city, where he was attended by Dr. Biggs. 

'Tn answer to inquiries this morning relative to Mr. Treman's 
condition a reporter was informed that he passed a fairly comfortable 
night but that both legs were paralyzed from his hips down. It is 
hoped that this condition may be only temporary, inasmuch as Mr, 
Treman despite his advanced years is an unusually strong and 
robust man. 

"The news of the accident spread through the city very swiftly 
last evening and awakened a general sentiment of regret. 

"A specialist in consultation is expected to reach here tonight." 

The same paper said editorially, June 4. 1898 : 

"Not half a dozen men in this city have been so long, actively 
and extensively engaged in business here as Elias Treman. Few 
citizens, if any, enjoy as large and intimate acquaintance with tlie 
people of Tompkins county. Hale and cheery to the very instant of 
the accident which suddenly invalided him it is but natural that 
thousands are eager for frequent and detailed reports from his bed- 
side. The fortitude and cheerfulness which marked his daily walk 
are reported unimpaired." 



Sixth Generation. 113 

At the time of his death The Ithaca Democrat said editorially : 

"In the death of Elias Treman, Ithaca loses one of its ablest 
and staunchest business men, one who has impressed upon the 
business life of our city the stamp of his individuality to a remarka- 
ble degree. 

"His name has ever stood as a tower of strength in our business 
and commercial circles. His sturdy integrity, his cheery encourage- 
ment, his indomitable courage and spirit has furnished to many a 
young man that incentive which has resulted in business success. 
He was ever a man of the people caring little for ostentation and 
outward show, and wonderfully gifted in his ability to correctly read 
and judge the men with whom he came in contact. 

"He more than any man the writer ever knew valued men for 
what they were rather than what they appeared to be. He hated 
sham ; but ever prized and applauded in no uncertain way what he 
saw of good in mankind without reference to the coat or social posi- 
tion of the wearer. His friends and business acquaintances every- 
where valued his friendship because they believed it sincere, and thus 
it is that throughout this and neighboring counties there is many a 
sad heart today plunged in real grief because of his death. 

"His has been a long, prosperous and honorable career. One 
that may well serve as an example to the younger men of Ithaca. 

"While his life was essefitially a business life to which he was 
ever devoted, he yet found time to mingle freely with his fellow 
citizens in social functions where he was ever a favorite, and to 
make himself felt in everything that pertained to the welfare of our 
city. 

"A good citizen in every sense of the word, a kind neighbor, a 
fearless advocate of the right, a manly man, such was Elias Treman. 
Ithaca will miss him sadly, but she cannot forget the example of his 
life so closely allied to the business integrity and public spirit 
of her citizens." 

The Ithaca Daily Journal said : 

"Elias Treman died about one o'clock this morning of the 
injuries he received by being accidentally thrown from his carriage, 
near his summer cottage on the west shore of Cayuga lake, the first 
of last June. Distinguished non-resident surgeons were called to aid 
his own physician, but they frankly admitted their inability to avert 



n_l History of the Treman Family. 

the inevitable and fatal result that must follow so serious an injury 
as the severing of the spinal cord. 

"Elias Treman accepted his awful misfortune in a philosophical 
and Christian spirit. During the long contest with the Angel of 
Death he never complained. He suffered no pain. His passing was 

peaceful. 

"The prominence of the deceased and his immediate family, a 
prominence long maintained and steadily increasing, in the financial, 
intellectual, social and religious life of Ithaca, makes a sketch of his 
ancestry interesting and appropriate at this time. * >i< -. 

"Elias Treman, the subject of this article, was born in Decem- 
ber, 1822, fifteen years before his father, Ashbel, died. His child- 
hood was passed in Mecklenburg, his youth in Penn Yan. 

•Tn 1844 Leonard and Lafayette Treman purchased the hard- 
ware store of Edmund Pelton on the southeast corner of Owego (now 
State) and Cayuga Streets in Ithaca. They continued the hardware 
store in conjunction with a foundry and machine shop. In 1847 
Elias came to Ithaca and served as clerk in the store. In 1849 he 
became a partner. In 1857 Leander R. King, R. H, Treman in 
1883, and in 1892 C. E. Treman, became partners. 

"Leonard Treman died in 1888. Lafayette retired from the 
firm in 1897. 

"Treman Brothers met with success from the beginning of their 
mercantile venture. The hardware store became the basis for a 
system of wider and more important corporate and financial pursuits, 
including banking, gas works, water works, etc., for which Leonard 
and Lafayette withdrew from active service in the store many years ago. 

"The published history of the town of Ulysses credits Abner 
Treman, his grandfather, with 'great force of character, plain and 
expressive manner and address.' That also applied to his grandson, 
Elias Treman. He had also a stately presence and a splendid con- 
stitution, for at 75 he appeared as vigorous and nearly as supple as 
he was at 45. 

•Although an earnest Democrat, Elias Treman could not be 
induced to accept party or political office, except in 1861 when he 
was elected President of the Village of Ithaca. In 1865, while a 
member of Tornado No. 3, he was elected Chief Engineer of the Fire 
Department. 



Sixth Generation. 115 

"He was a member of the non-partisan Citizens' Committee that 
framed our city charter. 

"At the time of his accident he was a member of the Protective 
Fire Police, having been its captain for fourteen years, a member of 
the Board of Education, a director of the Tompkins County National 
Bank, the Ithaca Savings Bank, the Ithaca Trust Company, the 
Ithaca Water Works Company, and the Ithaca Gas Company. 

"He was chairman of the board of trustees of the Presbyterian 
Church and senior member of the well-known firm, Treman, King & 
Company. 

"He was opposed to rhetorical obituary or passionate praise of 
the dead. He once said : 'A community knows its own members 
well.' Hence his theory is followed in this article and words of 
praise are unsaid, for Elias Treman was one of the best known men 
in the city and county." 

The Ithaca Daily News said : 

"Elias Treman passed away peacefully at one o'clock this morn- 
ing at his home on the corner of Buffalo and Geneva Streets, his 
death being the result of an injury which he received by being thrown 
from his carriage on the first day of last June, when on his way to 
his summer cottage on the shore of Cayuga Lake. He was thrown 
backward from the carriage, and the accident resulted in the severing 
of the spinal cord at the seventh vertebra, causing paralysis of almost 
the entire body. He was confined to his bed for the four months 
following the accident. He was always cheerful, and accepted the 
result of the accident with resignation. 

"Elias Treman was an ardent Democrat in politics, but was 
never very active, holding only one political office, that of President 
of the Village of Ithaca, in 1861, and was one of the Citizens' Com- 
mittee selected to form the present Ithaca city charter. 

"He was always much interested in the Ithaca Fire Department, 
being elected Chief Engineer in 1865. He was also one of the 
organizers of the Protective Police, and was captain of the same for 
eighteen years. 

"He was chairman of the board of trustees of the First Presby- 
terian Church of this city, was a director m several corporations, 
among which are the Ithaca Water Works Co., Ithaca Gas Light Co., 
Ithaca Savings Bank, Ithaca Trust Co., and Tompkins County

National Bank, and was senior member of the firm of Treman, King 
^' Company. He was also a member of the Board of Education." 

The Elmira Telegram said : 

'•Elias Treman, one of Ithaca's most loved citizens and respected 
business men, passed away this morning, at i o'clock. While the 
fatal fall from his carriage last June had prepared the minds of all to 
expect the inevitable result, yet when the end came, expectancy 
could not allay the deep-felt grief of a surviving community. 

"By Associated Press: 

•'Elias Treman, of the retail and wholesale hardware firm of 
Treman, King & Co., died at his home in this city at an early hour 
this morning, at the age of seventy-six. Mr. Treman was one of 
Ithaca's foremost citizens. He was a lifelong resident, promi- 
nently identified with all movements looking to the improvement and 
welfare of the city. He was a director and large stock-holder in all 
the banking houses of the city, and is well-known throughout the 
business world. The cause of his death was paralysis, coming from 
injury to the spinal cord, resulting from a fall from his carriage in 
June last." 

At a meeting of the Board of Education the President, Roger 
B. Williams, said : 

"Gentlemen of the Board of Education : 

"As we assemble here tonight our eyes naturally turn to that 
vacant chair which has been for so many years and so regularly 
occupied by Mr. Treman. Our thoughts revert to the unfortunate 
accident which has for four months deprived us of his companionship 
and counsel, while he lay with unfailing cheerfulness and heroic 
patience bearing the heavy cross that was placed upon him. And 
now they turn to the scene we witnessed' yesterday when all that' 
was mortal of our beloved friend was placed out of our sight forever. 
Nothing can efface our admiration of his character, the inspiration 
we have received through his example, or our reverence for the 
memory of Elias Treman. We mourn his loss, but we glory in the 
record he has left behind him and are thankful that for so many 
years we have been privileged to know him and work at his side." 



Sixth Generation. 117 

President Williams from the committee appointed at the special 
meeting tQ prepare resolutions in memory of Commissioner Treman 
presented the following report : 

"To the Board of Education : 

"Your committee appointed to prepare resolutions in memory of 
Commissioner Treman respectfully report the following : 

"Whereas, This Board has sustained an irreparable loss through 
the death of our esteemed fellow commissioner, Elias Treman, which 
occurred on the morning of October i, 1898 ; be it 

"Resolved, That we hereby record our profound realization of 
the severe blow that has fallen upon us, and upon our work, in this 
dispensation of an all-wise Providence, beneath which we humbly 
bow. We would place upon record, also, our high admiration for the 
character, abilities and business methods of the deceased, and our 
full appreciation of the notable aid his eftorts have given to the 
advance of education and educational methods in this city. 

"Elias Treman entered this Board in 1885, since which he has 
been a leader among us ; and, not only by his personal effort, but by 
his counsel and example, he has aided in the intelligent, methodical 
and harmonious prosecution of our work. 

"He was a man of unswerving integrity, unselfish purpose, and 
unfailing devotion to duty ; an untiring worker, a conservative adviser 
and a faithful friend. He conspicuously combined the wisdom and 
experience of age with the keen, active vigor of youth. He was out- 
spoken and frank in the expression of what he thought to be wise 
and right. He was noted for his superior business judgment, his 
thorough Christian honor and devoted personal friendship. 

"After his thirteen years of faithful service as a member of this 
Board, in which he has met with us regularly, performing with fidelity 
the duties of his office, we shall miss his cheery presence and his wise 
counsels. We mourn the loss of a kind friend, wise counsellor, and 
upright citizen. His memory will be cherished, and will inspire all 
who know him to emulate his virtues. 

"To his bereaved family we tender our warmest sympathy. 

"To our schools and to our city, who have lost one of their 
strongest and wisest leaders, we commend the example of his life for 
emulation.

the records of this Board, and a copy thereof presented to the family 

of the deceased. 

"R. B. Williams, "i 

"A. B. Brooks, >- Committee. 

"H. W. Foster, ) 

-On motion of Commissioner St. John the resolutions were 
unanimously adopted." 

In memory of Mr. Treman the public schools were closed during 
the afternoon of the day of his funeral and the flags were at half-mast 
throughout the day. Places of business were also closed during the 
funeral. 

From report to Board of Education by Supt. Foster, published 
in the Ithaca Journal, Oct. 6th, '98 : 

"In the death of Mr. Treman I feel a personal loss. Prompt, 
keen and frank, having the experience of age with the vigor of youth, 
he was quick to reach his decisions ; and was outspoken in his 
opinions. During all the time of his illness, his interest in the 
affairs of the schools continued unabated and he inquired frequently 
concerning what was being done, I shall always treasure it as a 
valued memory that on the last evening when he was fully conscious 
he asked for me to come and see him. The same keen interest 
inspires every member of the Board, and it is this which makes it 
possible to make our work successful. 

"H. W. Foster, Sup't." 

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Ithaca Trust 
Company and upon the announcement of the death of Elias Treman, 
a member of such Board, it was ordered that the following memorial 
of our deceased associate be entered upon the records of the Com- 
pany and that a copy thereof, attested officially, be presented to the 
family of the deceased : 

••The death of EUas Treman, one of the Directors of this Com- 
pany, creates a new vacancy in our number, and leaves us the duty 
of joining in the wide sorrow for his loss and recalling the many 
traits of his character which made him not merely our business 
associate but our welcome and cherished friend. 

"He had long been a resident of this city, and taken an active 



Sixth Generation. 119 

part in promoting its growth and adding to its prosperity. The 
vigor and industry and intelHgent care which he gave to his own 
affairs was fully developed in those enterprises which, beyond his 
personal interests, touched also the public welfare and affected the 
general health and safety. In the early lighting of our streets and 
homes, and, later, in the bountiful supply of water for the public 
safety and health, his business ability and courage found a wide and 
useful field of activity, with results not only beneficial to himself and 
his associates, but vitally essential to the health and security of the 
City, and which even yet we scarcely appreciate as they deserve. If, 
as is true, his private interest was the impelling motive of his share 
in the enterprise, at least it was directed to worthy and useful ends, 
and demanded of him and his associates a foresight and courage the 
utility of which for all of us we are slowly beginning to realize. 

"When the Trust Company was organized, and took its place 
quietly among the City's financial institutions, he came among us 
with the same business ability and watchful oversight which had 
carried his own enterprises to success, and beyond that, brought 
with him a constant cheerfulness, a playful bluntness of expression, 
and a regard for his associates lurking under a humorous welcome, 
which made us all his sincere and attached friends. That cheerful 
and kindly temperament followed him through the long days of his 
last illness and left him only at the end. 

"His place we can supply but cannot fill. We can only put upon 
our records this memorial of the man, and of the loss which as his 
business associates we have sustained. 

"We shall see his face no more, but he has left us the legacy of 
a sincere and lasting respect for his memory. 

"W. H. Storms, Secretary." 

Resolutions of the Protective Police : 

"It is with deep sorrow that we miss from our midst the form of 
Ex-Captain Elias Treman whose death occurred at his home in 
Ithaca on Oct. ist. He was a charter member of this Company and 
for fourteen years its Captain, and was deeply interested in the wel- 
fare of the Company. For more than fifty years he has been a 
prominent and influential member of our business community. As a 
member of the house of Treman, King & Co., a Director of the 
Tompkins County National Bank, of the Ithaca Water Works Co.,

of -the Ithaca (ias Light Co., one of the organizers of the Ithaca 
Trust Co., and since its organization a Director and member of its 
Finance Committee, his ability, wise counsel and sound judgment 
contributed largely to the success of each and every one. During 
his active business career he was ever mindful of his duty to his 
church and to the public. As Chairman of the Board of Trustees 
of the Presbyterian Church he gave freely of his time to the business 
interests and welfare of this body. He was an active and faithful 
member of the Board of Education, and a highly valued Trustee of 
the Ithaca Savings Bank. Mr. Treman commanded to an unusual • 
degree the respect and admiration of this entire community, and his 
warm greeting and bright smile will be missed by all. 

"We valued his friendship in life and will always treasure his 
memory in our hearts. 

••Resolved, That this minute be spread upon the records of this 

Company and a copy thereof be sent to Mr. Treman's family. 

"H. L. Hinckley, ) 

"D. B. Stewart, V- Committee." 

v'E. L. Williams, ) 

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the First Presbyterian 
Church, held Dec. 26th, i8g8, the following report of committee, ap- 
pointed Oct. loth, was, on motion, unanimously approved and adopted : 

••While the members of our Board were appalled and grieved by 
the loss of our worthy treasurer. General Blood, we were doubly 
bereaved by the sad accident on June ist, to our beloved President, 
Elias Treman, that deprived us of his wise counsel and ever courteous 
presence at the head of our Board. While denied all his usual 
activities and realizing only too well his own helpless physical condi- 
tion, he did not sorrow as one without hope, but gave to all who 
were privileged to minister to his needs, or to visit him for a moment, 
abundant evidence of heroic Christian fortitude and wonderful 
patience in waiting for the inevitable end. 

"The interest that he manifested in the welfare of the church he 
served .so faithfully and so long, the brightness and cheer with which 
he encouraged those around him must be to his family, as it is to 
his friends, a source of great comfort. The end came on October 
I St and we, with the entire community, sorrow for one whose place 
can hardly be hlled. 



Sixth Generation. 121 

"Therefore, be it Resolved, That the Board of Trustees of the 
First Presbyterian Church of Ithaca extend to the family of our 
beloved President our deep and sincere sympathies in their bereave- 
ment and that we commend them to our Gracious Father above who 
alone can give them full consolation. 

"Resolved, That we desire here to testify to the faithful and 
unselfish services of our associate as trustee for more than twenty 
years, the last ten of which he served as President. We wish to bear 
testimony to his kindly consideration, his courteous treatment, his 
unfailing regularity and promptness in the despatch of business, and 
to his readiness to take upon himself much more than his share of 
the details of our work. 

"Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the 
family and that they be spread upon the minutes of our Board. 

"T. G. Miller, Sec'y. 
"C. D. Stowell, Chairman, pro. tem. 
"Ithaca, N. Y., Dec. 26th, 1898." 

The Tompkins County Democratic Convention, Oct. 3, 1898, 
adopted the following resolution : 

"We, the representatives of the Democratic party, assembled in 
County Convention, desire to express our sympathy and condolence 
to the family of the late Elias Treman in their bereavement. In Mr. 
Treman's death we have lost a highly valued friend and wise 
counsellor." 

The following letters were among many received by the family: 

"Orange, Oct. 3, 1898. 
"Mv Dear Mr. Treman: — 

"I have just received the Ithaca paper with the news of your 
father's death. 

"I need hardly say in what high regard I ever held him for I 
think you must know how long and at one period of his life how 
intimately 1 knew him and that was before and up to the time of his 
marriage. He was always just the manly man that his straight and 
manly figure symbolized. He was outspoken,- you always knew where 
to tind him on every question of importance, political, local, social or 
religious that came up for discussion.

"1 cannot multiply words but I feel his loss. * * * 

Please assure your mother of my own and my daughter's sympathy 
and respect for her and the entire family of your lamented and re- 
spected father.

"Albany, N. Y., 5 Oct., '98. 

"My Dear Rob : — 

"I want to express to you and the entire family my sincere 
sympathy in the great loss you have sustained. I have often thought 
since hearing of your father's accident how hard ■ it must have been 
for one so full of energy and vitality to be afflicted as he was and 
though I hear he bore it with the utmost fortitude and resignation, I 
was thankful, for him and his family, when he was released from 
suffering. I know what it means to lose a father and how severe the 
shock is when the end finally comes, even though it has been for some 
time anticipated, and am truly sorry for you. The loss comes to you, as 
it did to me, after you had reached manhood and were well able to 
^j-o alone — but you cannot help feeling that you have lost a strong 
prop and support and a wise and prudent counsellor. Your father 
will be sadly missed by many in Ithaca outside his immediate family — 
his strong personality having impressed itself on all who came in 
contact with him socially or in business. 

"Yours truly, 
"Wm. H. Sage." 

"New York, Oct. 14. 1898. 
"Robert H. Treman, Esq.: 

"Dear Sir: — The notice of your good father's death has come 
to us. and its saddening information brings a pang of deep sorrow to 
me, his long time personal and admiring friend. For more than 
forty years have I known and many times have I met him, and each 
time enjoying his presence more than the preceding. His hearty 
cheerfulness, his candor, his integrity, his old time lively, breezy 
ways, combined with his shrewdness and sagacity made him a 
delightful person to meet either in a social or business way. 

"The first time I saw him, as perhaps 1 have told you, was soon 
after he was married, when he was living at the hotel — the 'Clinton,'

I think — and from the first I was interested in him, an interest that 
has increased as the years have gone by. 

"To your mother and to his children I desire to convey the 
assurances of my most tender sympatliy with sincere and earnest 
wishes for their comfort and consolation.

"My Dear Friend Charles : — 

"I wanted to send you a line to let you know that I think of 

you and your mother and family at this sad time. I will not try to 

say more now, but you must know in what high respect I have always 

held your father for his upright, sterling character. You may not 

know, however, that it was he who largely influenced my fnther to 

send me to Cornell, and you can appreciate how much college meant 

for me. Please give especially my affectionate regards and sympathy 

to your mother and write me when you can.

"Mr. Leander King, Ithaca N. Y.: 

"My Dear Friend : — I received last evening from you the 
Ithaca News announcing the death of Elias Treman. I have his 
countenance as clearly in my mind as when I left the dear old town. 

"Elias Treman was a man I shall never forget. My acquaintance 
with him was different of course than with you and others nearer 
my age, yet like Judge Finch with whom I studied law I could never 
forget Elias Treman. While he was independent and fearless and 
did not stand on conventionalities, as I knew him he was so kind, 
considerate, thoughtful and gentlemanly toward those younger, that 
today I remember him with that high esteem and deep respect that 
the high, noble and manly qualities which he possessed ever command. 

"In what I have said I hope you can recognize not only its 
truth but also recognize that my memory is not dim. 

"Sincerely yours, 

"H. L. Humphrey." 



,24 History of the Treman Family. 

From the Ithaca Daily Journal, May i, 1899 : 

••The children of the Central School celebrated Arbor Day by 
planting trees and by appropriate exercises in their school rooms. 

"The Persian poet says: 'When a good man dies,. all mortals 
weep, but the angels rejoice that his trials are ended, and that they 
have him amongst them.' 

"No man deserved this exquisite Eastern verse better than did 

Mr. Treman. 

"It is not necessary to mention here his munificent works of 
benevolence or devotion to public good. A Christian man, a faith- 
ful friend of the schools, a gentleman thorough in all good works, 
these describe one whom 'none knew him but to love him, none 
named him but to praise.' 

"To Mr. Elias Treman we dedicate this tree. May it ever be a 
reminder to cherish his memory with affection, to be thankful for 
his example and to think of him now as in the 'light perpetual' of a 
glorified existence." 

From the Ithaca Daily Journal, Sept., '98 : 

"As the Journal goes to press this afternoon the Ithaca fire 
department is making its 39th annual parade in a broiling sun. 

"As the Protective Police marched by the stalwart form of Elias 
Treman was missed at their head. The company of Protective 
Police was organized in 1868 by Elias Treman and Joseph Esty. and 
today, for the first time in thirty years since its organization, Mr. 
Treman was absent from the line. This is a remarkable record, and 
probably cannot be duplicated by anyone connected with the Ithaca 
or any other department. The patient invalid, doubtless, had this in 
mind today when the strains of the band told of the fact that this 
was the annual parade of the department." 

Mrs. Treman gave to the new First Presbyterian Church of Ithaca, 
as a memorial to her husband, one of the finest organs in the country. 

At the time of her death the Ithaca Daily Journal said : 

"Mrs. Treman was a member of the First Presbyterian Church 

of this city, and always took an active part in church work. She 

was a woman of very tine personal character, always cheerful, and 

by the geniality of her temperament won a large circle of warm

Theatre Company. He was appointed, in 1862, by the Governor, as 
one of the Town Committee to raise volunteers for the Civil War. 

At the time of his death the Ithaca Daily News said of him : 

"Leander R. King, one of Ithaca's oldest and most highly 
respected business men, died this morning, shortly after 6 o'clock, at 
his home at No. 1 1 1 West Green Street. 

"Mr. King's last illness began about three weeks ago, while on 
a trip to Canada. At Tadousac he had a very severe attack of 
angina pectoris, but recovered sufficiently to return home, which he 
did about ten days ago. 

"Since that time he has been confined to the house, but up to 
the very last his family entertained great hopes of his ultimate 
recovery. The end came quite suddenly and until a few minutes 
before his death it was supposed that he was getting better. Then 
indications were seen that denoted a change and the end came 
quietly and peacefully.

Sixth Generation. 141 

"Leander King was born at Trumansburg, February 3rd, 1828. 
At an early age his family moved to Albany where he received his 
early education. He came to this city at the age of 23 and entered, 
the employ of Treman Brothers, who were then engaged in the hard- 
ware business on the present site of the store. In the year 1857, 
Mr. King was taken into the partnership and the new firm did busi- 
ness under the name Treman, King & Co. Mr. King continued as a 
member of the firm until 1870 when he was obliged to retire from 
business on account of his health. After a year of complete rest in 
California, he was able to resume his work, and upon his return to 
this city he re-entered the firm, where he continued his interests up 
to the time of his death. 

"Mr. King was the senior member of the present firm, Treman, 
King & Co., and the last survivor of the original firm which consisted 
of himself and the three brothers, Leonard, Lafayette, and Elias 
Treman. Mr. King was a cousin of his partners. 

"For many years Mr. King has been closely identified with 
many of the principal business interests of this city. He has been a 
director of the Tompkins County National Bank since '71, and he 
was also a director of the Ithaca Water Works Company, and a 
principal stockholder in the Lyceum Opera House Company. Mr. 
King was a genial gentleman and his social qualities made him many 
friends. He has always been a successful business man and his 
judgment on financial matters was respected by his associates. For 
years he has been a prominent member of St. John's Protestant 
Episcopal Church and was at one time a vestryman. His life was an 
exemplary one, and his demise is mourned by the whole city." 

He died Sept. 20, 1900, at Ithaca. Residence Ithaca, N. Y.

The following account of the Tremain Family Reunion at the 



144 History of the Treman Family. 

home of James K. Tremain and the historical address delivered by 
him is from the Genoa Tribune of July 7, 1893 : 

"West Venice, N. Y., June 29, 1893. 

"A grand occasion was the Tremain Centennial Picnic which 
has been held at the residence of James K. Tremain today. 

"The day has been remarkably pleasant and no place could 
have been chosen more appropriate for this occasion, since it was 
just one hundred years ago that the father of James K. Tremain, 
Benjamin Tremain, built his log cabin in the woods, and with his 
family began life on the very ground where the tables were spread 
today. Neither could a pleasanter spot have been chosen than the 
spacious and shady lawn fronting his residence. 

"For many weeks, James K. Tremain, the only survivor of a 
family of ten children, has labored unceasingly perfecting arrange- 
ments for this reunion whereby the descendants, many of whom have 
never met, might come together and celebrate this the centennial of 
his father's settlement on this spot, and his heart has been truly 
gladdened by so many responses from different parts of the Union. 

"Carriages kept coming until at noon one hundred and fifty were 
comfortably seated at the tables which were groaning under their 
load of good things. Rev. E. A. Peck offered thanks, then associa- 
tion and appetite strove for the greater endurance. After dinner 
the relatives were grouped together and views were taken of the 
gathering by VVm. Battey, of Rochester, with a kodak manufactured 
at that place. During all this time sweet music was being discoursed 
by Moravia's popular orchestra. 

"After this came a delightful little programme of exercises 
presided over by Geo. Truman, of Nashville, Michigan. The 
exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. E. A. Peck, of Ledyard, 
the orchestra following with a fine selection. The address of welcome 
was delivered by James K. Tremain in a manner which none could 
help feeling was indeed a welcome from the heart. It was neatly 
responded to by Rev. Wesley Mason of Skaneateles. A quartette 
from Ledyard favored the company with a choice selection after 
which a poem, written for the occasion, was read by C. M. Swift, of 
Cortland. Another of the orchestra's fine' selections was then neatly 
rendered when came a historical sketch given by James K. Tremain, 
a portion of which we cannot help repeating. He says : 



Sixth Generation. 145 

"'In a backward glance, covering a period of one hundred years, 
justice would demand of me an impossibility under existing 
circumstances. 

" 'In the presentation of this historical sketch, I am somewhat 
embarrassed as the ancient records, dating back to the emigration of 
the Tremain family, four brothers, from England to America in 1666, 
were destroyed at the burning of my house in 1862. 

" 'In the rush and push and cry of hard times that reach us on 
every hand in this last decade of the nineteenth century, it is well to 
pause and consider : Who laid the foundations of this Great Republic ? 
Who rushed to the front to drive back an invading foe ? Who felled 
the mighty forests unaided by modern implements ? 

" 'With the primitive ax, patient ox and mammoth chain came 
together the logs with which the cabin of the pioneer was builded. 
Well may we honor the memory of the fathers, though dead their 
works remain, while we reap the reward of their labors. It is fitting 
and right that the descendants, friends and neighbors should assemble 
to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of this settlement. 

" 'Philip Tremain and family are supposed to be the first settlers 
in this vicinity, locating on this farm in 1793, erecting a cabin in 
about the center of this yard, digging this well from which hung the 
old oaken bucket that has supplied the family with pure cold water 
for a century. 

'• 'In 1790, the family emigrated from the Bay State to the then 
far West. The route over which they came to Cayuga County with 
their household goods was toilsome in the extreme. The Hudson 
river furnished means for reaching Albany. Between that point and 
the Mohawk great difficulties were met. Sixteen miles over sand 
barrens to Little Falls. There a portage was made. The canoes 
and light boats were carried by men while the large ones were drawn 
by oxen. The time required to make the journey from Schenectady 
to Cayuga Lake was twenty days. The family made the first settle- 
ment where Trumansburg now stands, my father felling the first tree, 
giving the hamlet the name of Tremainsville, later changed to 
Trumansburg. 

'"In the month of March, 1793, with their household goods on 
a sled drawn by oxen, they came around the head of the Lake, follow- 
ing the shore to the mouth of Salmon Creek, taking that to the forks,

The following interesting letter was written by him : 

"Binghamton, Oct. 11, 1898. 
"To THE Editor of The Journal: 

"Sir: — I read with much interest your article in The Journal 
of Oct. I, 1898, written upon the event of the death of the lamented 
Elias Treman of Ithaca. 

"I hope it will be pardonable for me to attempt to correct your 
article that it may accord with the chronological history of the Tru- 
man family in this country. 



1 68 History of the Treman Family, 

"The tirst representative of the family to come to America was 
Joseph Truman who settled in New London, Conn., in 1666. The 
following year 1667 he was elected to the office of constable. He 
continued his residence there until his death which occurred in 1697. 
His will which is on file was dated the year prior to his death in 
which he bequeaths his property to his five children, Joseph, Thomas. 
Elizabeth, Mary and Ann. 

-Joseph married Mary Shapley, daughter of Benjamin Shapley, 
Dec. 5, 1 701. They had four children, John, Simeon, Nathaniel 
and Benjamin. 

"John Truman, the first child of Joseph, married and they had 
nine children, Jonathan, Eliza, PhiUp, John, Gaines, Julius, Daniel, 
Abner and Jared. 

"Abner, next to the youngest, born in 1761, entered the army of 
the revolution in 1777 and became distinguished for his bravery; 
his son, Ashbel, was the father of the late Elias Treman. 

"The Truman family in Owego are direct descendants of Simeon 
Truman, the second son of Joseph and Mary Shapley his wife. 

"The writer is a direct descendant of Thomas Truman, who was 
born in New London, Conn., A. D. 1681, and died there Jan. 15, 
1747, he being the second son of Joseph Truman, who came from 
England in 1666 as before stated. I am much indebted for the 
knowledge I have been able to obtain of the Truman family in 
America, to George Truman, Esq., of Owego, N. Y., to the late Mrs. 
Christopher B. Arnold, of Providence, R. L, who in 1858 permitted 
me to make extracts from the record of a very old family Bible in 
her possession, which formerly belonged to her grandfather, Jonathan 
Truman, of New London (my great grandfather), and also to 'New 
England Chronological History,' by Savage, a work of great merit. 
My conclusions, after giving the subject much attention, are that the 
name Treman and Tremain and Trueman were all primarily and 
purely from the EngUsh name Truman, of New London in 1666, and 
that the exciting and disrupting scenes during the long years of the 
revolution and the conglomeration of nationalities, the Babel of 
tongues, are responsible for the different ways of spelling names of 
the oldest families in the United States. 

"Very respectfully yours, 

"James C. Truman."

The National Cyclopedia of American Biography says of him : 

"Henry H. Truman, son of Daniel Henry and Cordelia (Mea,d) 
Truman, was born in Greenwich, Conn., Feb. 7, 1847. After the

usual preparatory course in the rudimentary branches, he was sent 
to the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. After completing his studies, 
he left on one day's notice to begin his business career with the firm 
of Le Grand Lockwood & Co., Wall Street brokers and bankers. 
His salary was small at first, but his progress was rapid, and he was 
so well liked by his employers, that his advance was rapid, and it 
was but a few years before he received a large salary. The failure 
of the firm in 1869, threw him out of employment, but with the 
money he had saved he was enabled the same year to start in busi- 
ness for himself, having in 1869 purchased a seat in the Stock 
Exchange. He was successful from the start, but default of one for 
whom he was doing business necessitated a suspension in 187 1. He 
subsequently met every dollar of his obligations. In 1871 he entered 
into partnership with Roswell P. Flower (later Governor of New York) 
and E. C. Benedict, under the firm name of Benedict, Flower & Co. 
This firm passed through the great panic of '73 with credit unimpaired. 
The firm dissolved in 1875. In 1876 Mr. Truman entered into an 
arbitrage business, that is buying and selling shares and bonds be- 
tween New York and London or other cities. Mr. Truman was for a 
time a member of the Petroleum Exchange. He was a member of 
the Governing Committee and Chairman of the Membership Com- 
mittee of the Consolidated Exchange, after the union of the Mining . 
and Petroleum Exchanges. He withdrew from this Exchange in 
1885, as the rules of the Stock Exchange at that time prohibited 
membership in the Consolidated Exchange. Later he has also be- 
come a member of the N. Y. Produce Exchange. 

"Mr. Truman settled in Orange in 1885, and three years later he 
purchased a fine building site on the S. W. corner of Lincoln and 
Highland Avenues, where he erected a beautiful villa, comprising 
the best of modern architectural features known as the American 
Domestic, the first story being of Belleville brown stone, the stories 
above it of frame. 

"At the time Mr. Truman was asked to accept the nomination 
for the mayoralty of Orange, he had not been in public life nor had 
he ever taken any interest in politics. It was known that he was a 
staunch Republican and being a man of the highest reputation, his 
con.stituents believed that these qualifications would insure the suc- 
cessful administration of the afi'airs of Orange. Before entering 



Sixth Generation. 171 

upon his duties Mr. Truman made himself thoroughly familiar with 
the condition of public affairs and of the needs of the city, and 
pledged himself to use his best endeavors to influence for good gov- 
ernment. No one questioned his honesty, his integrity or his busi- 
ness capacity to execute the plans he formulated. His ability, how- 
ever, to carry forward the work, and execute the laws as he inter- 
preted them was largely dependent on the cooperation of those asso- 
ciated with him. A difference of opinion as to the best methods of 
accomplishing the desired results, caused some friction and by the 
close of his first year's administration it was generally understood 
that Mr. Truman would not approve of any improper legislation. 
His second message at the beginning of 1891 showed that he was 
fully conversant with every department of the city and his recom- 
mendations received the most careful consideration. His presenta- 
tion of the city's financial condition was a most able exhibit, and 
showed his familiarity with all the details. His recommendation to 
the council that an effort be made to have the new issues of bonds 
exempt from taxation and the advisability of issuing long bonds, 
evinced great wisdom and forethought. 

"He said truly that 'as the growth of the city continues the cost 
of the permanent improvements, which are now being made, and 
which benefit all proportionately, can be, and shall be, paid for by 
those who receive the ultimate benefit.' Mr. Truman urged that the 
system of sewerage so long under consideration should be pushed 
forward with all possible diligence and recommended the issue of 
four per cent bonds in such amounts as would enable citizens who 
were not property holders to invest and thus become interested in 
the affairs of the city. Mr. Truman referred to the Board of Educa- 
tion in praiseworthy terms, having made a personal investigation of 
the schools. Referring to the Police Department he recommended 
that all appointees should be required to pass a physical examination, 
and that any who were unfit for duty should be retired or dismissed ; 
he also recommended that a patrol service be introduced and that 
'call boxes' be established in different parts of the city, which would 
do away with at least one roundsman and give more efficient service. 
Mr. Truman called special attention to the valuable franchises granted 
by the city to railroad and other corporations, and to the small 
amount of revenue received by the city from these sources and rec-

omniended a plan which would insure a large annual revenue. No 
man ever labored more earnestly in the interests of a community, or 
worked more faithfully to effect the desired reforms than did Mr. 
Truman and when it is considered that his time and his energies were 
expended in this direction without any compensation whatever, he 
certainly earned and fully deserves the lasting gratitude of his fellow 
citizens. 

"During his residence of sixteen years or more, in Orange, Mr. 
Truman has given much time and attention to the moral and relig- 
ious interests of the community. Before coming to Orange he was a 
member of the Church of the Incarnation of New York, he was con- 
firmed by Bishop Potter in the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, 
in i860. He was long a member of Grace Episcopal Church of 
Orange. He contributed to the building of St. Andrews Episcopal 
Church at Montrose Park, South Orange. At the first meeting of 
the new parish for organization he was proposed for and elected to 
the office of Senior Warden. He is also interested in the work of 
the Young Men's Christian Association, having been one of the early 
members of the Orange Association and later assisted in the organi- 
zation of the Orange Valley Association, of which Association he was 
the President. He is a man of strong religious convictions, thought- 
ful, earnest, painstaking and imbued with a sincere desire to be help- 
ful to others and to benefit his fellowmen. He is a member of the 
New England Society of Orange, the Orange Lawn Tennis Club and 
other organizations. 

"Mr. Truman married Julia M. Judson, a daughter of Charles 
Gideon Judson of New York City, formerly of Woodbury, Conn., a 
son of Charles and Fannie (Marvin) Judson, son of Elijah, son of 
Gideon, born March 8, 1748, son of Elijah (born 17 15) and Sarah 
(Hollister) Judson, son of Jonathan, 1682, son of John, who was one 
of the original signers of the Fundamental Articles for the settle- 
ment of Woodbury, in 1672. He was the son of Lieut. Joseph, 
eldest son of William Judson, who came from Yorkshire, England, in 
1634, with his family, Joseph, Jere^niah and Joshua. He lived four 
years at Concord, Mass., and removed thence to Stratford, Conn., at 
its first .settlement in 1639. l^ev. Adoniram Judson, the missionary 
to Hurmah, was a descendant of William and cousin to Gideon, 
above mentioned." 



Sixth Generation. i73 

At the time of his inauguration as Mayor an Orange newspaper 
said of him : 

"The inauguration of Henry H. Truman as tenth Mayor of 
Orange on Tuesday evening, March 25, 1890, was an eventful period 
in the history of Orange. His predecessor, Mayor Hartford, had 
held the position for twelve consecutive years, first as a Democrat, 
and for nine years as the People's candidate. Mayor Truman, 
although not a politician was elected by the Republican vote. On 
taking his seat he was heartily congratulated by his predecessor, who 
in his closing remarks said : 'Now that I am about to retire it gives 
me unbounded pleasure to know that my successor is a gentleman 
whose name is above reproach, and who I am confident, will have 
only the city's best interest at heart.' Mayor Hartford was over- 
come by his emotions and was compelled to sit down. Mr. Truman 
returned thanks for the hearty welcome extended him and especially 
for the 'kind words of his predecessor, who had served so long and 
faithfully.' 

"The Truman family from which Henry H. Truman is descended 
is identified with the early history of the Connecticut colony. The 
origin of the name was undoubtedly, as the spelling indicates, Truman

"I. Joseph Truman, the ancestor, was born in England, and 
came to America with his family, which consisted of five children, 
viz : Joseph, Thomas, Eliza, Mary and Ann. He settled in New 
London, Conn., in 1666 and was chosen constable the next year 
where he died in 1697. The records show that 'he purchased some 
pits for tanning from Alexander Piggins in 1670.' Truman's Brook 
and Truman Street derive their names from this family. 

"II. Joseph Truman (2) son of Joseph (i) settled in New 
London. He with 77 others received a grant of land, Oct. 14, 1704, 
from the Governor and Company of Her Majesty's Colony of Con- 
necticut in General Court assembled by authority of Letters Patent 
given to them by Charles II, dated 23rcl April, 1663. This was a 
part of the addition made to the bounds of New London, which 
included the Mohegan reservation which had long been claimed by 
the town, but not legally included in their bounds. The grant was

1^6 History of the Treman Family. 

3350. Hon. Lyman Truman. (Aarons, Shem^ Benjamin', 
Joseplv, Joseph'.) iiii. He was born March 2, 1806, at Park 
Settlement in the Town of Candor, Tioga Co., N. Y. He married, 
Jan. 10, 1838, Emily M. Goodrich (daughter of Aner Goodrich and 
Ruth Stratton, Noah Goodrich who removed in 1802 from Conn., 
and located in what is known as Goodrich Settlement, in the Town 
of Tioga, near Owego, Tioga Co., N. Y.) She was born Dec. 30, 
181 7. He removed in 1830 to Owego, N. Y. He was a merchant 
nearly all his life. He became very wealthy. He founded, in 1836, 
the firm of L. Truman & Brothers which conducted a mercantile and 
lumber business for about half a century. • President of the Bank of 
Owego and its successor the First National Bank of Owego from 
1856 until a short time prior to his death. He was a Republican in 
politics. Supervisor. State Senator, 1857-63. 

The History of Four Counties, so-called, says of him : 

"Hon. Lyman Truman is at the present time the leading busi- 
ness man of Tioga County, and its wealthiest citizen. He was also, 
until a recent period, the leading Republican politician of that 
county. His life is a remarkable example of what one can accom- 
plish, unaided and alone, without any external advantages of wealth 
or family, in working out for himself a successful personal career by 
force of character and a temperate, moral, industrious, and economi- 
cal habit of life. 

"He started a poor boy, on a farm remote from any business 
locality, the eldest of a family of ten children, of whom Aaron Truman 
was the father. 

"Aaron Truman was born in Granville, Mass., and came to 
Owego in the year 1804, where he married the following year Miss 
p:xperience Parks of Candor. . Lyman Truman, the brother of 
Aaron, came in 1 808, and Asa H., another brother, followed about 1 8 1 4. 

"Lyman Truman, the subject of this memoir, was born March 
2, 1806. Aaron, the father -of a large family, died in 1822, when 
Lyman was but sixteen years of age. The only property left by the 
deceased to his family was a small farm of sixty acres, incumbered 
with a debt greater than its value ; and it was due to the sympathy 
of creditors only that the household was not driven from its humble 
shelter, which was but little better than a cabin, located on a farm. 
Hy the blessing of Providence, the mother, who was endowed with

Sixth Generation. 177 

remarkable sagacity and energy, so admirably stimulated and directed 
the efforts of the young but industrious and untiring family, that 
within three years she not only succeeded in paying the heavy debt, 
but erected a comfortable house, that still remains as a monument to 
their thrift. From the death of his father until the year 1830, Lyman 
continued to follow the drudgery of day and farm labor, raising and 
carting the produce of the farm to market, making shingles, and 
sawing and selling boards. 

"Of course the intervals of labor in such an overtasked youth 
left but a few scanty weeks for schooling, at the district school 
before, but not after, his father's death. These brief intervals were 
improved, however, with the same energy that has characterized all 
of the subsequent career of the man. 

"In 1830 he left the farm and became a clerk in the store of his 
uncle, Asa H. Truman, at the village of Owego, N. Y. He rapidly 
acquired the skill and tact in trade that made him desirable as a 
partner, and enabled him soon to start in business for himself, though 
without capital, as a member of the firm of Greenleaf & Truman, 
composed of John M. Greenleaf and himself. 

"In 1836, with a magnanimity and love for his family that have 
characterized all his subsequent arrangements, he brought three of 
his brothers, Orin, Francis and George, from the farm, and sharing 
with them what he had earned, associated them with himself, under 
the firm name that has since become distinguished in the locality for 
its credit and solidity, of 'L. Truman & Brothers.' This firm, for 
certain purposes, continued until the present time, 1879. 

"From 1836 onward, uniform success, unchecked by any con- 
siderable reverse or misfortune, has marked the business career of 
Lyman Truman. 

"That success has been largely due to the strong native sense 
and almost unerring sagacity that has rapidly solved, with instinctive 
accuracy, every business problem that presented itself ; he having 
never engaged in any speculation, except an extensive purchase, at 
government prices, of Illinois lands in 1856, which proved very 
remunerative. These lands were skillfully located before any settle- 
ment of the region, in the vicinity of streams and along the lines 
which their sagacity predicted prospective railroads must take. In 
the profits of this enterprise he generously associated the other 
members of the firm of L. Truman & Brothers with himself. 



178 History of the Treman Family. 

"In 1856 he was elected President of the Bank of Owego, and 
continued to hold that office until that institution became the First 
National Bank of Owego, of which he is still the president and 
principal stockholder, 1879. 

■'In 1 85 7 he was elected State Senator from the senatorial 
district composed of Tioga, Tompkins and Broome ; and continued 
to be elected to that position for three successive terms. His strong 
native sagacity, and his known integrity, gave him a commanding 
inriuence in that body ; and although he made no pretensions to 
skill as a public debater, yet, even in that capacity, the directness 
with which he addressed himself to the subject under debate, the 
promptness with which he laid open the real point at issue, and the 
personally independent, frank, and outspoken fashion in which he 
treated all the influences at work to defeat measures that he favored, 
made him a formidable antagonist in debate. His original style and 
manner had a certain peculiar relish, and his home thrusts remark- 
able point and force. 

"When the War of the Rebellion broke out, Mr. Truman was, 
as a matter of course, one of the foremost in favor of every measure 
calculated to bring the war to a speedy issue, and from its very com- 
mencement he contributed largely to the support of the families of 
ten volunteers. 

"Durmg all of Mr. Truman's active life his pecuniary help, and 
his invaluable personal direction and superintendence, have been 
often sought, and largely and successfully given to carrying business 
friends over difficult and embarrassing emergencies in their affairs. 
When, in 1849, a fire nearly destroyed the principal business portion 
of Owego, he was largely influential and active in rebuilding it, 
expending a large part of his own means, not very profitably, for 
that purpose. He has always been a ready contributor to public 
enterprises, and very helpful to many in the way of private charities. 

"Since he left the Senate, Mr. Truman has retired from political 
life, the cares of his large property interests, now estimated by his 
neighbors at upwards of a million of dollars, demanding his exclusive 
attention. Over all, however, that bears the name of 'Truman,' the 
ex-Senator, as the head of the house, still extends, as ever, his 
supervisory care, and from time to time, as needed, his kindly and 
never-failing pecuniary and personal help." 



Sixth Generation. 179 

Our County and its People (Tioga), by L. W. Kingman, says of 
him : 

"Lyman Park Truman was from 1833 until his death in 1881 
the most conspicuous citizen of the county in the lines of its com- 
mercial activity, and the impress of his indomitable will and keen 
business acumen was seen far beyond its limits. He was a natural 
financier, a man of creative impress and of original and highly suc- 
cessful methods. Where other men could see only ordinary condi- 
tions his brain would discern far-reaching possibilities, which under 
his almost unerring sagacity would develop into vast sources of 
wealth, business activity or political power. He was blessed with 
natural advantages. He came of a long line of stalwart New England 
ancestors who so conserved their vital forces as to strengthen the 
stock with each generation, and he possessed a massive physique 
with wonderful powers of endurance and a brain large and com- 
mensurate with his great body. From the commencement of his 
commercial activity, little by little, steadily and continually, the 
influence of his personality expanded until all the circles of business 
energy existing in a wide radius were controlled by impulses projected 
by his brain. He never imitated. Whatever successes others won, 
mattered nothing to him. He developed his own plans, perfect in 
detail from conception to consummation, and dictated to others the 
methods to insure success. He dominated his associates and his 
ideas became theirs. He attached men to him so that their aid and 
service resembled the loyal devotion of the ancient vassal to his liege 
lord, and he never allowed contradiction. In everything in which he 
had part his will was law. Although holding local office to some 
extent and ably serving three terms in the State Senate, his home 
was in the region of business and finance. There his nature was 
given full play and the result was the acquisition of great fortunes 
for his own and others' enjoyment. Had his lot been cast in the 
broader opportunities of New York City and the more responsive 
atmosphere of Wall Street, Lyman Truman would have shown him- 
self facile prmceps among the moneyed Napoleons and financial 
kings of that great metropolis."

battle of Cold Harbor, Va. Member of Owego Hook and Ladder 
Co., 1837. She died Sept. 12, 1895. 

At the time of her death the Owego Times said : 

"She was a woman given to dispensing alms, helping the needy, 
anxious to relieve suffering and distress, whenever she found them. 
Time can never reveal what she has done to lighten the burden of 
other lives. Many will rise up in eternity to thank her. 'Let her 
own works praise her.' 

"Of her love for the Church, and her intense interest in its 
prosperity, too much cannot be said. When unable, longer, to 
attend upon the services of the sanctuary, by reason of infirmity, she 
was always inquiring as to Zion's welfare. Often has she been heard 
to say, 'I do love the Church,' and none who knew her at all, can 
doubt that she did. The Congregational Church has lost a true, 
earnest and faithful member, and while the Church on earth has 
been made the poorer by her departure, the society of the redeemed 
in heaven has been enriched by her coming to them. 

"Of the sacred and tender relationship in the home, we need 
say but little. There was cheer and sunshine about her home-life, 
which was a blessing to all who came under its influence. 'Her 
children rise up and call her blessed.' The sisters and brothers 
know something of the richness and preciousness of that home-life. 
They feel to exclaim in the words of Scripture, 'Many daughters 
have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.' The large number 
present at her funeral on Sunday afternoon attest, more loudly than 
words can, the high esteem in which she was held by all. On that 
occasion her pastor, Rev. C. M. Bartholomew, chose for a text, Luke 
II, 37, speaking of the old age of Christian faith and confidence as it 
applied to her life and its work. Renan has said, 'The highest style 
of living is to live so, that in ceasing to live, one does not cease to 
be loved.' Be that as it may, one thing is certain, our dear friend is 
still loved. Reviewing such a life and observing its happy, triumphant 
end, one feels like saying with one of old, 'Let me die the death of 
the righteous, and let my last end be like his.' "

and Abby Burgess.) He was born Nov. 6, 1841, in Foster, R. I. 
He married, Oct. 9, 1866, Abbie Pierce Chapman. 1236. He 
received an academic education ; engaged in mercantile pursuits, 
and was President of the Common Council of Providence, R. I., 
1872-3. Representative, 1875 ; Speaker, 1876. Member of Con- 
gress, 1879-81. United States Senator from Rhode Island since 1881.

The Cyclopedia of American Biographies, by John Howard 
Brown, says of him : 

"Nelson Wilmarth iVldrich, Senator, was born in Foster, R. L, 
Nov. 6, 1841. His early education was acquired at Killingly, Conn, 
lit- then attended the academy at East Greenwich, R. I., and when 




SENATOR NELSON W. ALDRICH 



Sixth Generation. 189 

graduated began a business life at Providence, R. I. His practical 
interest in city affairs caused him to be elected in the City Council 
from 1869-75, and from 1872-3 he was its President. On leaving 
the Council he was elected as a Republican to the General Assembly 
of the state, and in 1876 was Speaker of the House. In 1878 he 
was elected to represent his district in the 46th, and was re-elected 
in 1880 to the 47th Congress. His practical business methods 
applied to legislation so increased the confidence he had already 
won in the state, that in 1881 he was elected by the Rhode Island 
legislature to the vacancy in the United States Senate, caused by the 
death of Ambrose E. Burnside. He was re-elected in 1886 and 
again in 1892. During his several terms, he served on important 
committees, notably on that of finance, on which he was retained 
during his entire term of service in the Senate. He thus became 
thoroughly familiar with the intricate questions of finance and tariff, 
and Senators accorded him an attentive hearing whenever he had 
occasion to present his views. Large credit is due to Senator 
Aldrich for the reciprocity features introduced in the McKinley tariff 
bill, his suggestions being accepted, after the proposition made by 
Mr. Blaine had been discussed and dropped by mutual consent. In 
his subsequent career in the Senate he has been prominent in the 
discussion of the great financial questions that arose in Congress and 
was conspicuous as an earnest advocate of mono-metallism." 

They have four children. Residence, igoi. Providence, R. I. 

Children : 

3641. Abbie Greene. The newspapers of the country of Aug. 27, 1901, 
announced her engagement to John Davidson Rockefeller, Jr. 
The wedding day is Oct. 9, 1901. The New York Journal of 
Aug. 27, 1901, says of her : "The engagement of Miss Abbie 
G. Aldrich, second daughter of the millionaire Senator from 
Rhode Island, to John D. Rockefeller, Jr., only son of the 
Standard Oil king and heir presumptive to the greatest fortune 
in the world, was announced yesterday. She is handsome, 
brilliant, a favorite of society, the bearer of a distinguished 
name ; he is stalwart, earnest, pious, rich even without his 
great expectations, a business man. They are about the same 
age — twenty-six — and they have been in each other's thoughts 
since he was a college student at Brown and used to visit at 
Senator .\ldrich's big town house, on Bennett Street, Provi- 



I90 History of the Treman Family. 

dence, and at the villas at Warwick Neck. The same wire 
that brings news of the betrothal carries the intelligence that 
young Rockefeller is negotiating for the purchase of Rocky 
Point, the most beautiful shore resort on Narragansett Bay, 
which adjoins his future father-in-law's place. The match is 
no surprise ; it has been an understood thing for some time, 
and society's main interest in the event concerns the future of 
the young pair who will start in wedlock so well endowed. 
Miss Abbie Aldrich has not been more conspicuous in church 
circles than most young ladies of her station in society, while 
the young man has been a leader in Baptist circles ever since he 
came from college. He is treasurer of the Fifth Avenue Sun- 
day School, and has always seemed to dread the responsibility 
of the great wealth that will be his, rather than to consider it a 
means to promote his own pleasure. He is fond of speaking 
before religious bodies and has been known to refer to himself 
as a steward from whom an accounting would one day be 
demanded. Now the question is : will she make a society man 
of him, and will the Rockefeller name become a synonym for 
the magnificent entertainments she is so competent to give, or 
will he make a devotee of her ? Or, will each adopt something 
of the other's character and make the house of Rockefeller 
famous alike for piety and for social splendor ? When the 
young man was at Brown he was the manager of the football 
team and displayed his business quality by making the football 
team self-supporting for the first time in the college's history. 
He was a very democratic young fellow at college, made no 
display of his wealth, and though the football and his fraternity, 
Alpha Delta Phi, took much of his time, he was a good deal of 
a grind at his studies. He was at college to learn, and it is his 
nature to get the full worth of anything he goes into. It was 
through his influence that his father gave 11500,000 to Brown 
University last fall. Young Rockefeller has had few diversions 
since he left the universit}'. He rode horseback a little, but 
his life lay mainly 1)etween the offices of the Standard Oil 
Company and the Baptist Church. Recently he has emerged 
in a small degree from his retirement, and last week organized 
a dancing class, which will meet at Delmonico's four times 
next season. This is probably the greatest dissipation of which 
he has ever been guilty. As a business man he won his spurs 
in Leather stock a year ago. He bought in 700 shares of 
Leather at 1 1 to 20 and sold it at 30 or 40, thus making his first 
million. He went into the Standard Oil offices as a clerk and 
ran the gamut of the office routine. Now he is supposed to be 
competent to take his father's place and handle his vast hold- 
ings whenever he is called on to assume that great responsibility. 



Sixth Generation. 191 

His life is as regular as that of a boy at a military school. He 
rises at 6:30 a. m. ; from 7 to quarter of 8 he exercises — walking 
or chopping wood. He takes half an hour to breakfast, catches 
the 8:40 train at Tarry town for New York, goes inmiediately to 
his office and remains there, except for half an hour for 
luncheon, until 3:15 p. m., when he returns to Tarrytown. He 
drives for an hour and then dines, and by 9:30 is in bed. His 
prospective father-in-law was a grocery merchant of very mod- 
erate fortune in Providence until he went into politics. Thirty 
years ago he became President of the Providence Common 
Council. In 1876 he was a member of the Rhode Island General 
Assembly. He went to Congress, and in 1880 became a United 
States Senator. He is a member of the Committees on Finance, 
Pensions and Ordinance and Warships and Chairman of trans- 
portation routes to the seaboard. He is said to have been the 
real author of the McKinley tarifif bill. His position, apart 
from the Government, is President of the United Traction 
Company, of Providence. The bride-to-be had a narrow escape 
last month. She was on the yacht Wild Duck when it ran 
down the Joy Liner Tremont in Long Island Sound." The 
New York World of Sept. i, 1901, says of her : "Miss Abby 
G. Aldrich, second daughter of the senior United States Senator 
from Rhode Island, who is to become the wife of John D. 
Rockefeller, Jr., the man who will probably be the first 
billionaire in the hiscory of the world, is a cultured, brilliant 
and serious-minded young woman. Notwithstanding her 
father's long residence in Washington, she has passed most of 
her life in Providence, where she was born. Usually in the 
winter she goes to Aiken, N. C. The great social functions of 
the capital seemingly have no charm for her, although it has 
been stated that Senator Aldrich has taken a mansion in Wash- 
ington this winter and will entertain, with Mrs. Aldrich and 
his two daughters. Miss Lucy T. and Miss Abby, as hostesses. 
Heretofore the Aldriches have lived at the Arlington Hotel and 
have done no entertaining, as Mrs. Aldrich and the girls have 
not been in Washington more than six months all told during 
the long service of Mr. Aldrich in the Senate. Probablv the 
most interesting fact about Miss Aldrich is that, except in the 
most general way, she does not care for society and its frivoli- 
ties. She is pretty and attractive and could easily shine should 
she care to enter the lists. Her interests are in opposite 
directions. She had advanced ideas about education and is a 
student of literature. Her pin money, her friends say, goes 
mostly for the newest high-class books and for the solid 
magazines. She is interested in practical charity and much 
prefers to investigate and relieve a genuine case of distress than 



ig2 History of the Treman Family. 

to spend an afternoon with a dressmaker talking about the fit 
of a gown. From this it must not be imagined that Miss 
Aldrich does not dress well, for she does. Her father is several 
times a millionaire and lavishes his money on his family. But 
she cares for dress only as a young woman of her station who 
has no infatuation for society should care for it. It is not a 
passion with her and does not distract her mind from the larger 
problems of life, of which she is an earnest student. Miss 
Aldrich's fad is a firm belief in the higher education of both 
sexes. She is thoroughly in harmony with the educational 
ideas of the Rockefellers. She is devoted, also, to church work. 
These features of Miss Aldrich's character, in addition to her 
great personal charm, must appeal to both her future husband 
and to John D. Rockefeller, his father, whose financial support 
of the Baptist Church is only equalled by the great gifts he 
makes to the Chicago University, of which he is virtually the 
founder. Senator Aldrich, her father, is often spoken of as 
the "business man" of the Senate. He rarely makes a speech, 
but he is at the head of the immensely important Finance 
Committee, through which all tariff and other business legis- 
lation must go. His predominating trait of mind is exactness. 
He is thoroughly business-like. Miss Abby has inherited these 
qualities to a marked degree. In her charitable work she is as 
precise as the most painstaking manager of a business enter- 
prise. She gives generously, but never until she has investi- 
gated the merits of each case brought to her attention. She 
does not believe in indiscriminate charity and will not afTord 
the slightest assistance until she knows the facts. She tells to 
her intimates the story of an experience she had in Aiken which 
strengthened her resolution in this regard. A few winters ago, 
before she knew as much of the wiles of mendicants as she does 
now, a negro girl approached her with a tale of woe that was 
heartrending. Her mother was dead, her grandfather almost 
dead from rheumatism and she herself ill and suffering from 
hunger. Miss Aldrich was much moved by the tale of mis- 
fortune and called the girl into her house. She gave her a 
meal and some clothes and a generous sum of money for her 
immediate necessities. She promised also to find her work. 
After the girl left Miss Aldrich began to wonder if she had 
done lier full duty in so distressing a case. Should she not 
have sent something to the rheumatic old grandfather? She 
decided affirmatively and told the cook to put some food in a 
basket. Then she ordered her pony chaise and drove to the 
address given by the girl. There was no house there. She 
searched the neighV)orhood and finally learned from a police- 
man that the girl was an impostor and the rheumatic grand- 



Sixth Generation. 193 

father a myth. So she gave the meal to an old negro woman 
who lived near by and drove home. Then she formulated this 
rule, which guides her now in all her charitable work : 'Never 
give even five cents to a mendicant until you have investigated 
the story. In benevolent enterprises the greatest benevolence 
is to punish the unworthy and thus protect the deserving cases 
of charity.' Undoubtedly in the great affairs with which Miss 
Aldrich will be connected after she becomes Mrs. John D. 
Rockefeller, Jr., she will follpw this rule. Her tastes are so 
entirely in harmony with those of her future husband that the 
benevolences which they will institute will be carried out on 
the lines already indicated by the senior Rockefeller. It is 
understood that Mr. Rockefeller and Miss Aldrich have been 
lovers for some years and that the engagement has existed for 
some time. Nearly a year ago Senator .\ldrich hinted some- 
thing of the kind to his intimates in the Senate. Miss Aldrich 
is not particularly fond of outdoor sports, although she shares 
Mr. Rockefeller's love for horses. She golfs a little and can 
swim and sail a small boat. She much prefers to read a solid 
work or an educational topic than to dance or attend a dinner 
party. She is tall, graceful and a charming talker. Just now 
she is at Greenwich, R. I., where Senator Aldrich has a summer 
home. Her social ideas may be summed up in the statement 
that although she is but a few miles from Newport and its 
gayeties she never goes there."

him : 

Chicago, III., Jan. 15, 1892. 

My Dear Truman : — My grandfather's name was John Truman, 
who had three sons and two daughters: i. Nathan Truman. 2. 
lohn Truman. 3. Henry Hammond Truman (my father). 4. Sarah 
Truman. 5. Elizabeth Truman. All were born in Providence. My 
father was the youngest, born in 18 12. I am the oldest of his chil- 
dren : I. Benjamin Cummings, born Oct. 25, 1835. 2. John, born 
in 1S37 ; died in 1843. 3. Caroline, born in 1839. 4. Susan, born 
in 1842; dead. 5. Clara, born in 1845; dead. 6. John Henry, 
born in 1844, graduated at Brown University, and at the Columbian 
Law College in Washington, made a fortune, married a Louisiana 
lady, had three children, one boy and two girls, all living; he died in 
1 88 1. 7. Imogen, born in 1858, and the only unmarried one, who 
still lives with her parents. We were all born in Providence. 

Truly, 

Ben. 

P. S. I had a boy born in San Diego in 1870, who died in Los 

Angeles in 1871. Georgie was born in Los Angeles in 1873. My 

wife's great-great-great-grandfather on her father's side was Captain 

Eugene Maillard of Lafayette's staff, and her great-great-grandfather 

was a sergeant in the war of 181 2, and was killed at the battle of 

Tippecanoe. He was a Virginian. I would like to know if any of 

our fathers' fathers were "in it". 

The first twelve lines of the following letter refers to a news- 
paper article written in Los Angeles, Cal., and printed in a New 
York paper : 

Los Angeles, Nov. 12, 1897. 

My Dear Jtm : — Yours came safely to hand with enclosure. It 
wasn't so bad after all, and much of it was true, especially regarding 
their soldiers and some of the so-called "Castilians". But there were 
quite a number of very nice people here before those last comers 
during the boom, of which the writer thinks brought the better 
classes. He undoubtedly considers himself one of the creme de la 
cre'me. On the whole he was a little too severe. I really appreciated 
your pedigree search, which seems to be complete. Of course dur-

ing the past thirty-five years a great many persons of our name have 
come from Ireland and England, but none are of much account. Our 
family is certainly one of the oldest American families, and although 
there never has been any criminals or scrubs in it, it has probably 
improved with every generation up to our own. I see that my name 
occupies about thirty lines in Appleton's Biographical Encyclopedia, 
and mention is made of me as an author and soldier in the Brittanica. 
Here are some of the positions I have occupied, which, as you have 
taken so much pains to get the records, I will let you know : 

Benjamin Cummings Truman. Born in Providence, R. I., 
Oct. 25, 1835. Graduated in high school studies at age of 13. 
Went to Shaker School in Canterbury, N. H., until I was 17, then 
taught school No. 9 of Merrimack Co. for one year. 1854 worked at 
printing business in Providence. 1855 went to New York, and set 
type and read proof on N. Y. Times for five years. In Oct., 1859, 
went to Philadelphia as correspondent of N. Y. Clipper. Soon 
became editor of the Sunday Mercury, then managing Ed. Forney's 
Washington Chronicle. On March 6, 1862, was appointed captain 
and provost marshal on stafi^ of Andrew Johnson, who had been 
made Brigadier General of Volunteers and Military Governor of 
Tennessee. Was also war correspondent of New York Times for 
more than rwo years at one hundred dollars a week. Staid with 
Johnson until he was elected vice-president. Returned to him after 
he became president. In August, 1865, was appointed special com- 
missioner to investigate condition of the South. Returned in March, 
1866. Two days afterward was appointed special agent of the 
Treasury Department and sent to South Carolina and Florida to 
investigate Direct Tax Commissioners. In August, same year, sent 
to Paris on a secret service trip by President Johnson. December of 
same year made special agent of the P. O. department of entire 
department of entire Pacific Coast from Alaska to Mexico, with juris- 
diction of China, Japan and Hawaiian mails at $5000 a year and 
traveling expenses. This position I held three years, and visited all 
the countries above named. Dec. 8, 1869, married Augusta Mallard 
whose paternal grandfather was on the staff of Napoleon, and whose 
maternal grandfather was a soldier of the Revolution. From 1870 
to 1877 owned the Daily Star of Los Angeles. From 1878 to 1879 
was again special agent of P. O. D. From Jan. i, 1879 to Jan., 



198 History of the Treman Family; 

1890, eleven years, I had charge of literary work of Southern Pacific 
R. R. Company at salary of $400 a month, and in that time I made 
thirty-eight trips across the Continent, accompanied by my family. 
Had executive charge of exhibit of South Pacific Co. at N. O. Exposi- 
tion in 1884-5. Represented same Co. in London (American Ex.) 
in 1897 and in Paris in 1889. Had an exhibit in Chicago for 1891 
and 1892 for So. Cal. and Santa Fe R. R., and was assistant chief 
of floriculture of Columbian Exposition. Am author of eight bound 
books and manv others. Belong to Bohemian and Press Clubs of 
S. F. and Union and Press Clubs of Los Angeles. Belong to Loyal 
Legion and seven other associations. Of course you would be glad 
to know that we are not afraid of the wolf at the door. In other 
words, we are in good circumstances. Am now managing a fine 
newspaper in Los Angeles. Have one child, a daughter, twenty-four 
years old. I believe that gives you my record up to date. It is 
accurate, so far as I can remember, and I think there is no mistake 
in dates ; if there were, though, that would be no disturbing feature. 
My brother Johnnie was born in Providence in 1846, studied in 
college and in Europe, and graduated from the Columbian Law Col- 
lege, and was attorney for the Illinois and Rand & McNally. He 
made a fortune in Chicago at law in six years. Was the author of 
two law books and died in 1881 of pneumonia, leaving a wife and 
four children. His name was John Henry Truman, my only brother. 
I have three sisters living, all widows, all younger than I.

Abner/ John,' Joseph," Joseph.') 1805. He was born Dec. 13, 
1850., at Ithaca, N. Y. He prepared at Eaglewood Military Insti- 
tute, Perth xA.mboy, N. J., and the Vermont Episcopal Institute at 
Burlington, Vt., and attended Cornell University, 1868-9. He mar- 
ried (ist) April 22, 1884, Eugenie MacMahan (daughter of Oliver 
MacMahan, of Lyons, la.). She was born in 1861. She died August 
17, 1886. He married (2nd) April 23, 1891, Isabelle Norwood 
(adopted daughter of Miles L. Clinton, instructor in Cornell University, 
of Ithaca, N. Y.). While in college he was a member of the Chi Phi 
Greek-letter fraternity, and as a local alumnus, has given much time 
and financial support to the Cornell chapter, which has one of the 
finest homes among American colleges. While in college he was a 
member of the crew of the Sprague Boat Club and he was also a 
member of the University Baseball Club. He was afterwards a mem- 
ber of the old Ithaca Baseball Club. After leaving college he at once 
entered the hardware store of Treman, King & Co. to prepare himself 
for an active business career in which he has been eminently success- 
ful owing to natural ability of a high order and the training of a father 
who was the equal of any in business ability ever in this part of our 
State. Under his father's guidance also, and by his advice, he 
severed his connection with the store, after a few years' service, and 
entered the ofitice of the Ithaca Gas Light Company and the Ithaca 
Water Works Company, of both of which companies his father was long 
President, and with these companies he has since remained, a period 
of over fifteen years, he having been, however, promoted to Secretary 
and Superintendent, which positions he successfully filled many 
years, and to the Presidency of both companies, upon the death of

his father, in 1900. He was also elected a Director of the Tompkins 
County National Bank to succeed his father, in 1900. He is also a 
director in the Ithaca Trust Company. Aside from his business 
duties he has found exercise for other talents; being a musician 
himself, and intensely interested in the subject, he has found ways in 
which to use his knowledge and wealth, to contribute not only to the 
gratification of his own artistic tastes but to contribute, through the 
channels of music, to the value of the work of his church, and to the 
pleasure of his fellow citizens. He is undisputably the leading musi- 
cian and patron of music in Ithaca and that part of the State. He 
was one of the founders of the old Mozart Club, and its successor, 
the Ithaca Choral Club, taking an active part in its productions and 
giving it loyal support. He at an early age took entire charge, as 
choirmaster, of the music of St. John's Protestant Episcopal church 
of Ithaca and the fame of its choir has been treasured as a memory 
by thousands of students of Cornell in every part of the world. It was 
through his efforts that the church has had for several years one of the 
best organs procurable. He was elected a Vestryman in St. John's 
P. E. church to succeed his father in 1900. He several years ago saw 
the need of a new Opera House in Ithaca, and while it did not 
promise, and has not realized, a profit to its promoters, yet prompted 
by a public spirit, worthy of emulation, he and a few other men of 
wealth, mostly in his own family, erected one of the finest play-houses 
in the State, at a cost of over sixty thousand dollars, that the college 
town might have some attractive place of assembly ; of this, the 
Lyceum Company, he has been President since its organization. Not 
content in his many activities thus far in the musical line, he deter- 
mined that Ithaca should have a band — not an ordinary band of the 
brass variety — but a band that would be the pride of its citizens 
wherever it should appear. This desire has been more than reaUzed. 
The Ithaca Band is known favorably all over the country, having 
taken prizes in numerous contests with other famous bands, and 
filled an engagement of ont week, August 6-1 1, 1901, at the Pan- 
American Exposition. Its success is largely due to his judicious 
advice and firm financial support and knowledge of music and musi- 
cians. He has accumulated, with discriminating judgment and at 
large expense, one of the finest general and musical libraries in the 
country, and wrote a manuscript History of Music in four volumes

which has been beautifully embellished. He early took an interest in 
his family history and its achievements and spent much time in the 
collection of data relating to the family, till the pressure of business 
necessitated that he turn it over to another to complete, and the 
result is seen in the present volume, which shows an evidence of 
public spirit and unusual interest in one's family. In "Landmarks 
of Tompkins County, N. Y.," will be found a well written short his- 
tory of the family from his pen, which shows much research and is a 
valuable contribution to both family and local history. He has 
always taken an active interest in Democratic politics but has invaria- 
bly declined political office. He is a member of Knights of Pythias, 
St. Augustine Commandery, Knights Templar, and the Odd Fellows 
fraternities, and Tornado Hook and Ladder Company. 

"Landmarks of Tompkins County" says of him : 

"He became associated with the large interests of his father, 
though not a member of the hardware firm. He is secretary and 
superintendent of both the Water and Gas Companies, positions 
which require executive ability of a high order and fully occupy his 
time. He is also president of the recently (1894) formed Lyceum 
Company, and the erection of the new theatre in Ithaca is the reali- 
zation of plans which he has had under consideration for many years. 
He is a young man of popular social qualities and highly esteemed 
in the business circles of his native citv." 

Residence, 1901, Ithaca, N. Y. 

4005. John Sayles Waterman. He was born at Smithfield, 
Providence County, R. I. He graduated at Cornell University. 1877. 
While in college he was a member of the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. 
He was a member of the victorious Cornell 'Varsity crew at Saratoga 
Lake in 1875. He married Jeannie Mead Treman. 1806. He was 
engaged for several years in the manufacture of agricultural imple- 
ments under the firm name of Treman, Waterman & Co. at Ithaca. 

At the time of his death the Ithaca Daily Journal said of him : 

"He was not only a close student while in the University but a 
fine athlete as well, and much of the credit of the Cornell crew's 
famous victories at Saratoga was due to his prowess, he pulling bow 
oar in those memorable contests. Some of his friends are of the

opinion that his early physical decline was attributable to his over- 
exertion in those races. After finishing his studies, Mr. Waterman 
became interested in business here as a member of the firm of 
Treman, Waterman & Co."

Bush, was actively interested in all that pertained to the progress of 
Buffalo, financially, politically and socially. His mother, Margaret 
Westervelt, was of Dutch descent and her ancestry can be traced 
back to the early history of New York City. His paternal grand- 
father was a man of strong convictions, a staunch Baptist, who did 
much for his church. His paternal great-grandfather who was a 
soldier in the Revolutionary War, was of German ancestry.) He was

one of the charter members of the Buffalo Club. She is a member 
of the Board of Women Managers of the Pan-American Exposition. 

At the time of her election the Buffalo Times said of her : 

"Mrs. John W. Bush, a member of the Board of Women Man- 
agers of the Pan-American Exposition, and on the Committee on 
Entertainments and Ceremonies and the Committee on Education of 
the Women's Board, was formerly Kate C. Treman, and was born in 
Ithaca, where she lived until her marriage. She is a graduate of the 
Buffalo Seminary, member of the Graduates' Association, the Alumna; 
Association of the Buffalo Seminary, of the Twentieth Century Club, 
and of the Buffalo Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution. 
For this latter society she has written several papers ; her last, on

Chairman of the Study Committee of the Graduates' Association, 
Mrs. Bush showed her executive ability to a marked degree, and her 
work on both committees of the Women's Board will be of valuable 
assistance." 

Another Buffalo newspaper said : 

"Mrs. John W. Bush, of 762 Delaware Avenue, has been 
appointed a member of the Board of Women Managers of the Pan- 
American Exposition, to succeed Mrs. George E. Matthews, resigned. 
Mrs. Bush was appointed by the Board of Directors of the Pan- 
American Exposition on the recommendation of President John G. 
Milburn. 

"Mrs. William Hamlin, President of the Board of Women 
Managers of the Pan-American Exposition, has appointed Mrs. Bush 
on the Committee on Entertainments and Ceremonies, and also on 
the Committee on Education, Mrs. Bush taking the place of Mrs. 
Matthews on both these committees, to which Mrs. Matthews was 
originally assigned. 

"The resignation of Mrs. Matthews and the appointment of Mrs. 
Bush were acted upon by the Board of Directors at its last meeting. 
Mrs. Bush is a member of the Twentieth Century Club and also of 
the Graduates' Association. She has been an active worker in the 
Graduates' Association, especially for one year, when she was the

highest authorities in the world. His work on this family of plants 
is not only scientific and exhaustive, but is wonderfully accurate, so 
that the practical man can rely on it as a certain guide.' "

"Seth Tremain Was born July 21, 1839, at Lindleytown, Steuben

"He was of English stock, his ancestors having emigrated to 
America in the early part of the seventeenth century. From them he 
inherited a sturdy frame and those sterling qualities that made him 
respected as a man and a citizen. 



240 History of the Treman Family. 

•In I S46, he, with his father's family, moved to Lawrenceville 
where he resided until the breaking out of the Civil War, when he at 
once enlisted in Captain Phil Holland's company in the Pennsylvania 
Reserves, this being one of the first companies to enlist from Tioga 
County. Later he enlisted in Company F, Captain Harrower's com- 
pany in the 86th N. Y., for three years. When his term of enlistment 
expired he again re-enlisted in the same regiment and served until 
the close of the war in 1865. 

"Those, who are familiar with the history of the brave 86th, can 
form some idea of Mr. Tremain's experience as a soldier, for this 
regiment took part in nearly all the battles of Virginia, from Bull Run 
to Appomatox. Mr. Tremain, himself, was in some twenty battles 
and skirmishes, and was promoted to Second Lieutenant, then to First 
Lieutenant, and finally Brevetted Captain for meritorious service. 

"In the battle of Gettysburg he was wounded, and while in ser- 
vice he contracted inflammatory rheumatism from which he never 
recovered, and as the result of this disease at last was stricken by death. 

"March 3, 1867, he married Amelia King who died in 1888, 
leaving two daughters, Iva, now Mrs. Thos. Lynch, of Cross Fork, 
and Thyrza, now Mrs. B. V. Pritchard, of Corning. A little son had 
preceded the mother to the land of shadows. 

"In 1889, he married for his second wife, Mary F. Beardsley, of 
Wellsboro, who survives him. A daughter. Dons, is the only child 
of this union. Four brothers, G. H. Tremain and Orrin Tremain of 
this borough, Warren Tremain, of Elmira, Munson Tremain, of Frank- 
linville, N. Y., and two sisters, Mrs. Almira Edgcomb and Mrs. 
Amelia Nealy, of Elmira, live to mourn the sundering of one more 
family tie. 

"Besides Mr. Tremain's services to his country as a soldier, he 
has served the town and borough as constable and collector, and in 
1887 was elected to the responsible office of County Commissioner."

5441. Col. Frederick Lyman. Born June 13, 1843, at Albany, N. Y. He 
attended Hobart College, 1860-1. Member of Theta Delta Chi 
college fraternity. First Lieutenant 7th New York Heavy 
Artillery, Volunteers. Promoted Adjutant Dec. 11, 1863, to 
Capt. and A. A. G. Lieutenant Colonel 10th N. Y. Cavalry 
and Assistant Adjutant General U. S. Vols., New York. Died, 
Feb. 6 (o. 8), 1865, at Hatcher's Run, Va. The History of the 
Lyman Family says of him : "He went from Hobart College 
into the army, and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of 
the loth N. Y. Cavalry. Having passed through twenty -five 
battles and skirmishes, and achieved a brilliant record, he was 
killed by a rebel sharpshooter while leading his regiment at 
Hatcher's Run, Virginia, in Feb., 1865. The brief and brilliant 
career of this youthful warrior, which for heroic daring in 
action, coolness, consummate skill and generalship has seldom 
been surpassed, deserves a further record than time and space 
will now allow. Parental affection has fondly and eloquently 
said : To the pen of history belongs the noble task of record- 
ing the military operations in which he had the honor to par- 
ticipate during the ever memorable campaign of 1864. And yet 
when we consider the bloody and obstinate nature of the battles 
that were fought, the glorious and unconquerable resolution 
which was displayed in conducting the movements of the Union 
armies, the immense loss of human life, the masterly combina- 
tions of those armies, the vast extent of country which consti- 
tuted the field of their display, the number of those brilliant 
raids performed by the cavalry alone, through the heart of an 
enemy's country, each one constituting an interesting history 
of itself, the toil, the sacrifices, the fatigue, sufferings and perils 
to which the heroic soldiers in those armies were continually 
subjected, and to which, with unflinching fortitude and cheer- 
fulness they submitted, when we consider, too, the innumerable 
deeds of personal bravery, performed both by officers and men, 
the holy patriotic purposes by which the great body of those 
armies was prompted, the unselfish willingness they manifested 
to sacrifice their lives for the preservation of the honor, the 
integrity, and the unity of their country, and, finally, the 
glorious and successful results of all these operations, we may 
well doubt whether history will ever contain more than an out- 
line skeleton of them all. He participated in no less than 
twenty-five battles and skirmishes in ten months, rose high in 
rank, and achieved at the age of twenty-one years a reputation 
for military qualifications and talents which were the admira- 
tion of all and might well be the envy of renowned veterans. 



248 History of the Treman Family. 

The scene of his splendid achievements was the famous battles 
of the Wilderness and in connection with them the ever memor- 
able raids of Gen. Sheridan, in which he acted a conspicuous 
and brilliant part until struck down by the deadly aim of a rebel 
sharpshooter. Col. Tremain went to the field in the fall of 
1S62, as Adjutant of the Seventh Volunteer Artillery. Not 
relishing the monotony and inactivity of garrison life, to which 
duty the regiment was assigned, he sought and obtained a 
transfer, and was detailed to staff service in the field, with Gen. 
Gregg, in the cavalry corps of Gen. Sheridan. And there he 
found abundant opportunity for the display of his high sol- 
dierly qualities. He was foremost in every battle in which that 
corps engaged, and which has rendered it and its heroic leaders 
famous in the annals of the war. He was in that ever memora- 
ble ride from Rapidan to the James, during which a score of 
battles were fought, millions of the enemy's property destroyed, 
the outer fortifications of Richmond entered, and prodigies of 
valor displayed by every member of the heroic band. On the 
James he joined in most of the cavalry reconnoissances and 
raids which have passed into history as among the most dra- 
matic of the war, and fell while engaged in driving back the 
rebel force which attempted to check the resistless progress of 
our troops. Col. Tremain was a young man to be admired and 
loved. He combined, with a noble presence, winning manners 
and attractive social qualities. As a soldier he was prompt and 
fearless. He was a brave rider, and coveted nothing so much 
as perilous adventure. He early attracted the attention of his 
superior officers by his manly bearing and gallant deeds and 
earned his promotions by his heroic achievements. Educated 
and chivalrous, he speedilj^ won the confidence of his superiors, 
and promotion soon followed the development of the soldierly 
accomplishments which distinguished him in the many battles 
in which he participated. No better evidence of his merits 
as a soldier need be cited than the fact that he earned the rank 
of Lieutenant Colonel at the early age of twenty-one. The 
history of this war, participated in by so many of the youth of 
the country, and offering unprecedented opportunities for pro- 
motion, affords but few instances of one so young attaining this 
distinction." Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography 
says of him : "Frederick Tremain, soldier, b. in Durham, Green 
Co., N. Y., in June, 1843 ; d. near Petersburg, Va., 6 Feb., 
1865, entered Hobart in i860 but abandoned his studies in 1862, 
and entered the National army. He was appointed adjutant of 
the 7th New York Heavy Artillery, served in the defences of 
Washington, and was afterwards made Adjutant-General with

the rank of Captain, on the staff, in Kilpatrick's division of the 
Army of the Potomac. In December, 1864, he was commis- 
sioned Lieutenant Colonel of the loth New York Cavalry. He 
commanded this regiment at the battle of Hatcher's Run, where 
he received the wound of which he died."

About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.' 



250 History of the Treman Family. 

"The angel, whose summons all must heed, visited one of our 
oldest and most respected citizens, Israel P. Tremain, on Friday, 
Sept. ist, at half-past four in the afternoon, and called him to his 
rest. So gentle and quiet was the summons that, surrounded by the 
comforts and love of his home, seated in his favorite chair, the 
deceased seemed but to slumber peaceful and calmly, to shortly 
awaken ; but the sleep was eternal. 

"Mr. Tremain's health had been poor for the past two years. 
He had known his days on earth were limited and had often spoken 
of it, and had truly 

" 'Sustained and soothed 
By an unfaltering trust, approached his grave.' 

"He suffered with an organic disease of the heart, which trouble 
for the past few months, necessitated his being very quiet, and avoid- 
ing all excitement. 

"On the day of his death, he was about the house as usual and 
did some writing, after which he remarked that he was tired and 
wished to rest. He sat in his easy rocking chair and as a child drops 
oif to slumber, passed away ; spared even the slightest touch of pain. 

"Deceased was born May 17th, 181 5, in Oak Hill, Durham 
Township, Greene Co., N. Y. From his boyhood to his majority he 
worked in his father's tannery and attended school. His education 
was begun in the district school at his home and completed at the 
Durham Academy. 

"The scarcity of hemlock bark at his place of business, necessi- 
tated a change, therefore in 1836, he came to Monticello and went to 
Tannersville, south of Bridgeville, where his brother Edwin Tremain. 
Gideon Howard and himself, purchased the large tannery of Bush- 
nell & VanHorne. 

"In August, 1839, he bought out his brother's interest in the 
tannery and was thereby a two-thirds owner in the concern which 
operated under the name of Tremain & VanHorne. This firm con- 
tinued business until 1866, when they closed up, as the hemlock bark 
was nearly exhausted. They had used on an average 3,000 cords of 
bark per annum for the thirty years they had been in business, or 
90,000 cords in all. Mr. Tremain resided at Tannersville from 1836 
until 1852, when he removed to Monticello where he lived until the 
time of his death.

"The Union Bank of Sullivan County, was established in the 
fall and winter of 185 1 and 1852, and in 1863 it was reorganized as 
the National Union Bank. Mr. T. was a director in the bank from 
1853 to 1884. Mr. Bennett retired from active duties in 1863, and 
left the bank in charge of Mr. Tremain, who from that time until 
1884, when he resigned, was at times either President or Cashier of 
the institution. 

"Since 1884, Mr, T. has Uved a quiet and uneventful life, attend- 
ing to his own private affairs, taking much interest in his garden and 
home. On several occasions he was asked to accept the candidacy 
for legislative offices, but declined. He was elected Supervisor over 
Captain Hamilton in 1854, and was a trustee of the village of Monti- 
cello in 1 89 1. 

"Mr. Tremain was married to Miss Harriet Allen, daughter of 
Samuel Seabury Allen, a merchant, and Harriet Flower, and aunt of 
Gov. Roswell P. Flower, at the bride's home in Oak Hill, January ist, 
1840, in the Episcopal Church at that place, by Rev. E. K. Fowler, of 
St. John's Church, of Monticello. Rev. Mr. Fowler was taken by 
Mr. Tremain from this village to Oak Hill, in a sleigh, which brought 
the bride and groom of fifty-three years ago, back to Monticello, 
where the honeymoon was spent. 

"A warm friendship existed between the minister and Mr. Tre- 
main, which gives an example of the worth of the first rector of St. 
John's Church. Mr, Tremain was en route to Bridgeville and was 
very sick, Mr. Fowler noticed him, and getting in the stage accompan- 
ied him to his home, and lovingly nursed the sick man through a danger- 
ous illness, only coming to Monticello on Sundays to preach while the 
sickness lasted ; and from that time no two men loved each other better. 

"Mr. and Mrs. Tremain were both confirmed in St. John's 
Church in 1840. Mr. T. was a vestryman of the Church from 1840 
to 1863, and a warden from the latter date until 1883, when he 
resigned, as the new stone church was completed, ready for occupancy 
and fully paid for."

The following interesting letters on family history were written 
by him : 

"Humboldt, Iowa, Feb. 24, 1893. 

"Dear Sir — Yours of twenty-first received. I regret to say I 
am unable to tell you much about the Tremains. My father said but 
little about his parents or grandparents, largely, I think, because he 
was left to provide for himself at about ten years of age. We came 
West in 1845 and while 1 had then seen but an uncle and cousin, 
and them but once, I never again saw a relative of my father's. My 
father, Joseph C. Tremain (the middle name was Collins), was born 
in Massachusetts about 1788; losing his first wife, he married in 
Chautauqua County, N. Y., Harriet Turner — my mother — her father 
was one of the first settlers at Fredonia. One son, Ralph J. Tre- 
main, and two daughters, by my father's first wife, still live. I am 
the only living member of the family of the second marriage. My 
father died in Iowa in 1880, my mother in 186 1, 

"My father early spelled the name Treman, leaving out the i. 
In 1845, father's brother, Reuben Tremain, then living at Rodman, 
Jefferson County, N. Y., with his bachelor son, Geo. C, and his son 
Gaius and his wife visited us just prior to our starting West. I 
clearly recall incidents of that meeting. My uncle Reuben, it seemed 
to me, was not a handsome man, but as I heard him talk and discov- 
ered the nobility of his mind, I came to think him a noble looking 
man. I recall a discussion of my uncle and father as to the correct 
way of spelling the name. Uncle for Tremain, father for Treman. 
Uncle prevailed and ever afterw^ards father spelled it Tremain. Uncle 



256 History of the Treman Family. 

Reuben was an ardent Presbyterian, father an ardent Universalist ; 
both were debaters and men of more than ordinary abihty and Hking 
to argue. 

"My cousin, George C, then a man of about thirty-eight to forty, 
was a large, fine looking bachelor. A five dollar gold piece he tossed 
me, a boy of twelve, saying, 'it's because you (meaning me) are called 
George,' has never been forgotten. I was proud to bear the name of 
so fine a looking man. I recall, as we went West by team, our visit 
in Ohio with one, Henry Truman, my father's half-brother, — he, it 
seems, had without any authority quietly adopted the name Truman — 
it seemed to me he had hit on the best name of the three — Truman, 
Treman, Tremain. Since then and up to 1880 I knew a son of his 
who spelled his name Truman, so it would seem my father's attempt 
to get this half-brother to adopt the Tremain was fruitless. 

"My father was about 5 feet 10, rather stout built, a great reader, 
an active participant in every current event. First a Democrat and 
finally a Republican ; quite a lawyer, or as we would now say, a good 
backwoods lawyer ; an ardent temperance man and a fair speaker. 
Money getting was to him the last thing to consider. G. M. Tre- 
main, of Fredonia, N. Y., whom I have visited, has much of the 
same build and I should think he would be able to give you much 
information. However, I think he writes his name Tremaine. There 
lived until recently a family of Tremains in Hamilton Co., Iowa. Ira 
Tremain, the father, was a tall, spare man. He served in the Iowa 
Legislature and was, I am told, an excellent man. That family are 
now living on the Pacific Coast. 

"I was born in Chautauqua County, N. Y., June, 1833. I am 6 
foot I, and weigh 210. I have two sons, man grown, both living 
here. I am very sorry and have for years felt the regret that I did 
not know more about the family, the name and nativity of our ances- 
tors, but I have treasured up all I ever learned, and my regret must 
be not that I forgot, but that I did not learn. 

"W. H. J. Tremain, of Nora Springs, Iowa, came into my oftice 
this morning in a hurry. I know nothing of his family history, but 
he thinks we must be akin and certainly his physique bears that con- 
struction. I am very much interested in your letter and hope to hear 
farther from you, and here tender you my services in anything you 
think I can do. Yours truly,

"Humboldt, Iowa, April 3, 1893. 

"Dear Sir — On my return home find yours of 15th ult. and 
give it my best attention. I do not know anything of my father's 
half-brothers or their famiUes. One, Silas Truman, did a few years 
ago live at Brush Creek, Iowa. He was a son of my father's half- 
brother, one that called himself Truman. As I recall it, Reuben was 
my father's own brother. Henry was a half-brother, and as I see 
them, Reuben and my father had a strong resemblance while Henry 
had none of it. 

"I do not often see W. H. J. Tremain, of Nora Springs. Per- 
haps you better not rely on me for news of him or his. I have 
recently learned that Ira Tremain has moved into Webster City, 
Iowa. He has a son, H. H., living at Eagle Grove, Iowa, a mail 
agent on C. & N. W. R. R. 

"G. M. Tremaine, of Fredonia, N, Y., would, I think, be able to 
give you much information. I have met him ; he has the earmarks 
of our tribe and is, I think, a good man. 

"It occurs to me you have undertaken a big job ; one that leads 
to much work, no little annoyance, much delay and how much profit. 
I conclude you have a taste in that especial direction, and work more 
to gratify that taste with little other reward. 

"When you think I can be of service to you command me. 

"Yours, 

"G. L. Tremain."

"Dear Sir — Answering yours of January 26th. Up to 1845 ^Y 
father wrote his name Treman. Then at the instance of his brother, 
Reuben Tremain, of Jefferson Co., N. Y., he added the i and ever 
afterwards wrote Tremain. 

"Reuben Tremain came to our house when I was a boy of 
twelve in 1845. I understand uncle Reuben was a Presbyterian 
minister. He had a son Gaius and a son George, both of whom I 
also saw in 1845. 

"There is now living at Fredonia, N. Y., a G. M. Tremaine, a 
descendant of the Jefferson County family who uses an e at end of 
his name. There is living at Webster City, Iowa, a Doctor Tremaine. 

"On our way West in 1845 we called on a half-brother of my

father's at or near Wooster, Ohio. He spelled his name Truman. I 
can't recall his given name but a son of his, Silas Truman, now lives 
at Strawberry Point, Iowa. 

"I have never been able to understand why such a variety of 
names or spellings came about. I followed my father closely and 
since 1845 ^^^^ stuck to Tremain. My full name is George Lafay- 
ette. I always sign G. L. Yours,

"The announcement yesterday afternoon of the death of Cleve-

to the friends of the young man and sorely bereaved family. For the 
past two weeks the deceased has been ill with fever, but at no time 
was his condition considered ' dangerous or critical, until yesterday 
morning, when the fever took a sudden change, and he sank rapidly, 
passing away about four o'clock, surrounded by the beloved ones 
who had done all that was possible in human skill to save him. The 
deceased, who was the son of Hon. J. C. Truman, of this city, was 
one of the most honorable, manly and popular young gentlemen of 
the city, and was beloved and respected by the wide circle of admir- 
ing friends and acquaintances. He filled the responsible and trusted 
position of money-order clerk under Postmaster Hull, and was one of 
his most trusted associates. He was twenty-two years of age, and 
leaves a wife and little daughter, besides his parents, to mourn his 
untimely demise."

the following account of the accident and tribute to his mem- 
ory : ' 'Two of Owego's best known society men lost their lives last 
evening. Frank T. Stanbrough and Alva S. Odell were bathing 
in the Susquehanna river with two girls, one of whom they were 
trying to teach to swim. Getting into deep water Odell lost 
control of the young woman and called to Stanbrough to come 
to his assistance. In the struggle all three went down, but the 
girl was rescued by Superintendent Ditmar, of the Owego Gas 
Company, who was out in a rowboat. She was unconscious 
but soon revived. When Stanbrough and Odell were finally 
pulled out of the water there was little evidence of life. Haifa 
dozen physicians worked over them on the river bank for an 
hour, but with no success. The men were among the best 
known society people in town. Stanbrough is the younger son 
of Dr. J. B. Stanbrough. He was about thirty-five years old 
and was one of the heirs of the large Truman estate. Both of 
the young men were very popular and held in high esteem in 
this village. When the news of the terrible calamity spread 
over the village the river bank was crowded with the friends of 
the dead men, who hoped the doctors would be successful in 
restoring them to consciousness and who deeply sympathize 
with the members of the bereaved families. Mr. Stanbrough 
was bookkeeper at his father's stove and plumbing store in 
Front street. He was a member of Defiance Hook and Ladder 
Company, No. 5, and also a member of Sasana Loft Tribe, 
I. O. R. M."

Contributor to the Review of Reviews, Munsey's, Outing and the

The Opinion, for one year. , 

" Men of New York " says of him : 

"William H. Hotchkiss, though still a young man, even if the 
term be narrowly interpreted, has already made a name for himself, 
and accomplished much good in a field of usefulness cultivated too 
little by men of his standing and capacity. He is a type of the young 
professional men, of liberal education and well-developed talent, who 
interest themselves in public affairs for the public good. He was 
prepared for college at GHdden's Classical School in Jamestown, 
N. Y., going from there to Hamilton College, where he graduated at 
the age of twenty-two with the degree of A.B. He secured the much 
coveted Phi Beta Kappa Key, besides honors in literature, oratory, 
debating, Greek, Latin and mathematics, and delivered the Head 
prize oration and Latin salutatory. Three years after his graduation, 
his college conferred on him the degree of A.M. 

"Law was the profession that Mr. Hotchkiss had chosen for 
himself, and with a view to obtaining a practical knowledge of legal 
procedure as early as possible, he accepted, after completing his 
college course, the appointment of clerk of the Surrogate's Court of 



274 History of the Treman Family. 

Cayuga County, at Auburn, N. Y. The surrogate at that time was 
John D. Teller, whose name became familiar throughout the State by 
his candidacy for judge of the Court of Appeals on the Democratic 
ticket in 1895. Mr. Hotchkiss served as clerk two years, 1887-9. 
Meantime, in 1888, he was admitted to the Bar. Judge Teller took 
him into partnership, and he practiced at Auburn, in the firm of 
Teller & Hotchkiss, till 1891. He then moved to the larger field of 
Buffalo, where he entered into partnership with E. L. Parker, and 
where he has since pursued his profession. The firm of Parker & 
Hotchkiss has risen rapidly in both influence and volume of business, 
and now ranks among the leading commercial and banking law firms 
of Buffalo. Mr. Hotchkiss is a lecturer on the law of personal 
property in the Buffalo Law School. 

"The great problems of municipal government, so long neglected 
in American cities, were just beginning to receive serious public 
attention when Mr. Hotchkiss began the real work of his manhood. 
To the study of these problems he addressed himself with the energy 
of youth, the earnestness of strong convictions, and an honest desire 
to serve right purposes. He has contributed articles frequently to 
the Review of Reviews, Munsey's, Outing and the Buffalo Illustrated 
Express, his range of subject including travel as well as municipal 
problems. In the latter field, however, he has become recognized as 
an authority. He wrote a pamphlet monograph on Urban Self Gov- 
ernment in 1892, and has since delivered numerous lectures on that 
and kindred subjects. His interest in politics has been in the line of 
promoting ideas, rather than in the actual work of machines. He 
took an active part in exposing the ballot frauds in Buffalo in 1892, 
and has served as Secretary of the Committee on law and legislation 
of the Buffalo Citizens' Association for three years. He is also an 
active member of the Buffalo Republican League, having served two 
years on the executive committee, and one year as editor of its organ. 
The Opinion. He is a member of the Chi Psi college fraternity, and 
served as editor-in-chief of its magazine, Purple and Gold, from 1886 
to 1890. He belongs, also, to the Sons of the American Revolution, 
the Buffalo Club, the Liberal Club, the Independent Club, and the 
New York State Bar Association. Especially worthy of mention is 
his work in connection with the drafting of the reform charter of 
Buffalo."

" Landmarks of Tompkins County " says of him : 

"As a boy his ambition was to secure a good education, and 
after exhausting the resources of the district schools he became a 
student of the Ithaca High School. The year of his majority he 
taught school in the town of Ulysses, and in 1883 he entered the 
State Normal School at Cortland, after which he became the principal 
of the Jacksonville school, where he remained for five successive 
terms. It was his intention to follow teaching as a profession, but 
the study of law was too strong an attraction for him to resist, and in 
1887 he came to Ithaca, and the following three years we find him in 
the law office of M. N. Tompkins, Esq. He then spent a year in the 
office of Jared T. Newman, Esq., and then became law clerk in the

Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography says of him : 

"Henry Edwin Tremain, soldier, b. in New York City, 14 Nov., 
1840. He was graduated at the College of the City of New York in 
i860 and then entered Columbia Law School. On 17 April, 1861, 
he enlisted in the 7th New York Regiment as a private, and served 
through its two months' campaign about Washington, after which, on 
13 July, he entered the National volunteer service as ist Lieutenant 
of the 2nd New York fire zouaves. During the peninsular campaign 
he was on Gen. Daniel E. Sickles' staff, and was in the battles of 
Williamsburg, Fair Oaks and Malvern Hill. He was then transferred 
to Gen. John Pope's army, and engaged at Bristow Station and the 
second battle of Bull Run, where he was captured while endeavoring 
to check a temporary panic and the rapid advance of the enemy. 
After several months' confinement in Libby prison he was exchanged, 
resumed duty on Gen. Sickles' staff as assistant inspector-general 
and was present at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, where he 
served as an aide to Gen. Joseph Hooker. Meanwhile, on 25 April, 
1863, he had been commissioned major, and was chief staff officer to 
Gen. Sickles at the battle of Gettysburg. He was on Gen. Daniel 
Butterfield's staff at Chattanooga, and took part in the battles of 
Dalton and Resaca. In 1864 he was ordered to the Army of the 
Potomac and served successively on the staffs of Gen. David M. 
Gregg and Gen. George Crook, participating in the cavalry battles 
under these officers, until the surrender of the Army of Northern 
Virginia. He was brevetted brigadier-general of volunteers on 30 
Nov., 1865, and continued on duty in the Carolinas until his discharge 
on 29 April, 1866. Gen. Tremain then resumed his law studies and 
was graduated in 1867, after which he entered into practice, forming 



Eighth Generation. 281 

in 1868 the firm of Tremain'& Tyler. From 1870 till 1885 he was 
usually retained either by or against the government in its legal con- 
troversies in New York, and he was connected with the Marie-Garri- 
son litigation involving the title to the Missouri Pacific railroad. He 
has been active as a Republican in political canvasses, and for five 
terms, beginning in 187 1, he has been president of the associate 
alumni of the College of the City of New York. On 19 April, 1887, 
he was elected colonel of the veterans of the 7th Regiment, the oldest 
organization of its kind in this country. His campaign notes of 
'Last Hours of Sheridan's Cavalry,' were edited by John Watts de 
Peyster (1885)."

1845. He was prepared at Ur. Reed's School, Geneva, N. Y., and 
graduated at Union College, 1866, and the Albany Law School. 
While in college he was a member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity. 
He studied law with Peckham & Tremaine and after his admission 
to the Bar became a member of the firm. He married Miss Martin, 
of Auburn, N. Y. They had five children. He was a lawyer of 
great ability. He early took an active interest in Republican politics, 
was a very effective stump speaker and was the Republican candidate 
for Attorney General of the State of New York in 1877. He was the 
orator at many historical celebrations. 



282 History of the Treman Family. 

At the time of his death an Albany newspaper said : 

"Perhaps there has never been more general regret expressed 
and felt in this city, than over the early death of Grenville Tremain. 
Handsome in person, gifted in intellect, possessed of high powers of 
eloquence, he was the beau ideal of the young advocate, and exhibited 
powers that would have placed him yet higher than in the high 
rank of the profession that he illustrated and adorned. At such a 
time as this, it is not so much the genius of the man or his ability, 
the strength or grasp or shrewdness of his intellect, that recurs to 
the minds of his friends — these things but increase the already in- 
tense sense of loss by magnifying its greatness — but those attributes 
of the deceased that, while they add a new pang, sweeten the bitter- 
ness of the calamity, are his perfect manliness, his truthfulness, his 
high, clear sense of honor, his love of the true and right. No one 
can recall in all the activity of his life a cruel or an unkind word, a 
slur or innuendo, or an insinuation that would tend to throw even a 
shadow upon a rival reputation or wound the tenderest sensibilities. 
He had all the strength of the strongest man with the sweetest 
sensibilities of the most delicate woman. There was about him a 
freshness and naturalness from which the roughest contact never 
took the bloom. In all his legal and forensic contests he was never 
accused of taking an undue advantage or of delivering an unfair 
blow. He was the Bayard of the profession, without fear and with- 
out reproach. He was a patriot not only from cool judgment, but 
with the warm enthusiasm that loved his country even as his mother, 
and as his elder brother gave his life for fatherland so Grenville 
would have been ready to have sacrificed his had his country called ; 
to him patriotism was a belief, and a sentiment. that is stronger some- 
times than a belief; all this crystallized into the golden sentences 
dropped by his silver tongue in the matchless oration pronounced 
by him at the laying of the corner stone of the Williams monument, 
when the great concourse gathered there declared that never did 
Webster give birth to more fitting discourse — for the audience were 
moved by the manly beauty and entranced by the noble eloquence of 
the orator. This effort was perhaps the most complete, scholarly, 
and rhetorical of the many speeches of his busy life. 

"To the advantages that Mr. Tremain possessed in person and 
voice and intellect, he added an untiring industry that was undoubt- 



Eighth Generation. 283 

edly the cause of his death. Possessed of so fine a physique, he 
never seemed to think that the keen blade could wear out the strong- 
est scabbard ; he gave himself no rest ; night and day he labored at his 
professional duties ; and when in his last hours his mind wandered it 
wandered into those professional paths where had been won his early 
garlands and his youthful fame. Nominated by a great party for 
the high office of attorney-general ; nominated without hint or asking 
from himself, his nomination was received by his own party with 
glad acclaim ; and hundreds of the opposite party, those who knew 
him, marked their appreciation of his honesty, his ability, and his 
fitness for the place, by giving him the votes that carried him ahead 
of his fellows on the same ticket. He leaves to his family, to his 
widow and his children, the proud, the blessed memory and inheri- 
tance of a name kept unstained and unsullied through the fierce 
turmoil of professional and political contests, and a faith as clear 
and simple and as honest as that of a little child, — one of those who 
shall always see the face of the Father, for of such is the kingdom of 
heaven." 

Another Albany paper said : 

"It is with sorrow unfeigned and deep, that we announce to our 
readers this morning the death of Mr. Grenville Tremain, which 
event occurred at his residence in this city yesterday afternoon about 
two o'clock, after a brief illness. He was the son of Hon. Lyman 
and Mrs. Helen Tremain, and he inherited many of the talents of 
his most distinguished father. He was born in the little village of 
Durham, Greene county, on the 19th day of April, 1845, and was 
consequently in the thirty-third year of his age. At an early period 
of his life, his father removed from Durham to this city, and entered 
into partnership with his old friend, the late Judge Peckham. Gren- 
ville was the second son, his brother the late Lieut. -Col. Frederick 
Tremain, who was killed in the last year of the war, being his senior 
by two or three years. Young Grenville was educated at the school 
of Dr. Reed, in Geneva in this State, and from that institution en- 
tered Union College, where he graduated with high honors. He 
then entered as a student the law office of Peckham & Tremain, and 
also attended the Albany Law school and graduated from that insti- 
tution ; and then further pursued his studies in the office, until in 



284 History of the Treman Family. 

1867 he became a partner in the firm of Peckham & Tremain, and 
from that day until the day of his death he was an active and useful 
member of that firm. Mr. Tremain early displayed at the bar the 
qualities of an able, learned, eloquent and accomplished lawyer. He 
entered at once into the litigations with which his firm was connect- 
ed, and scarcely a case was tried by either member of the firm at 
Albany, that was not prepared by him, and that did not receive the 
benefit of his indefatigable industry and painstaking research. He 
very early received the confidence of his clients, and he was soon 
engaged as attorney and counsel in many important litigations. He 
had the entire respect and confidence of the bench, and no judge 
ever listened to Mr. Tremain's statement of the facts of a case with- 
out an entire trust in the substantial accuracy thereof. 

"When Mr. Judson was elected Mayor, no other name than that 
of Mr. Tremain was thought of for the important and laborious posi- 
tion of Corporation Counsel, and from that day to the time of his 
death it can be truly said that he knew not a leisure moment. No 
one who has not occupied that office is aware of the engrossing 
nature of its duties when properly performed, and no one of his 
able predecessors ever brought to the discharge of the duties of that 
office a more conscientious determination to discharge them fully 
and properly than did Mr. Tremain. No department of the city 
government hesitated to call upon him for advice and assistance at 
all times, and no city official ever left him withouf being satisfied 
that he had received from Mr. Tremain the counsel which he de- 
sired, and which resulted from a most painstaking and exhaustive 
examination of the subject submitted to him. When his term of 
office expired, he kept on in the discharge of his professional duties 
without rest, recreation or interruption. 

"The delicate health of his father at this time left the firm to 
grapple with something of a large practice, and Mr. Tremain took 
his full share of the labor and responsibility of active professional 
life. Last year about this time, upon the failure of certain insurance 
companies in New York, and the appointment of a receiver for them, 
he was retained as counsel for such receiver, and from that time on 
he was busy, literally, night and day. The business called him fre- 
quently to New York, and he shrank from no labor that the human 
frame could endure, in order to faithfully and ably discharge the 



Eighth Generation. 285 

duties of the high trust that had been committed to his care. And 
It was melancholy in his last illness, when the hand of death was on 
him, and his mind wandering, to hear from his incoherent speech, 
how firmly his thoughts were fixed upon the discharge of his profes- 
sional labors. 

"Last fall, at the Republican Rochester Convention, without 
the suspicion of a request from him to any man, unsought and 
wholly unsolicited, the high honor and compliment of a nomination, 
by acclamation, for the office of Attorney General of the State, was 
accorded to this young man, then standing in the very front rank of 
his profession among the younger members of the bar. Though 
suffering the fate of his ticket, it was most gratifying to him and his. 
friends to see the way in which he was appreciated by those in whose- 
midst he had grown up and passed the whole of his professional life.. 
His vote in Albany county was many hundreds greater than that re- 
ceived by the rest of his ticket. 

"Thus he stood but yesterday, as brilliant and eminent a lawyer 
as any one of his age throughout the length and breadth of the State. 
To-day he is at rest. 

"To those who knew Mr. Tremain socially, his loss will be 
irreparable. There was a manliness in his carriage, a frankness and 
tenderness of character about him, that charmed with the irresistible 
force of a pure, generous and loving heart. He leaves a wife and 
five small children, and he died on the birthday of his only son, who 
is, alas ! too young to feel the loss of as generous, loving and tender 
a father as son ever had. 

"He rests from his labors, and may he rest in peace. His 
stricken family have the profound sympathy of this community in 
this their hour of dire distress, and there is no heart but goes out in 
pity for the sorrow which this terrible calamity brings upon his suf- 
fering father." 

Another Albany paper said : 

"The sad announcement in our last edition of yesterday — com- 
ing as it did without a warning to any save a very few of the nearest 
friends — conveyed a shock to this entire community, and carried a 
deep sense of personal loss to many hearts. There is something 
peculiarly touching in the sudden death of a young man of robust 



286 History of the Treman Family. 

torm and bright promise at the very threshold of a brilUant career. 
When a man of long years and wide fame passes away, a deeper 
impress may be left ; but in the loss there is also a feeling that his 
opportunity has been given and his mission well advanced, perhaps 
altogether accomplished. But when one of rich talents and noble 
character and honorable ambition is cut down in the very dawn of 
youth, just as the full radiance of his promise was throwing its light 
over the pathway of his shining future, it adds the sorrow and the 
pathos of an opportunity denied and a work unfulfilled. It is like 
the blight of winter falling upon the early glory of summer. 

"Grenville Tremain was only in his thirty-third year. The sec- 
ond son of Lyman Tremain, he inherited much of the ability and 
many of the characteristics of his honored father. Trained at 
Geneva, graduating at Union in 1866, and next winning the diploma 
of the Albany Law school, he engaged at once with ardor and en- 
thusiasm in the profession whose severe tests and worthy prizes 
stimulated the highest impulses of his nature. He joined the firm to 
which two of the most eminent members of the Bar had given dis- 
tinction, and both the names of Peckham and Tremain were well 
sustained by those who inherited them. Young Tremain leaped im- 
mediately to the front. He had great aptitude and admirable quali- 
fications for his profession. He loved the science of the law and 
faithfully mastered its principles. His mind was acute, penetrating, 
fertile in resources and ready in action. With these fine intellectual 
attributes he united rare gifts of speech. He was fluent, graceful 
and forcible ; his bearing was dignified and impressive while at the 
same time winning and unassuming ; and the sense of honor, candor 
and truth which stamped all that he said and did, added the weight 
of character to the force and logic. Indeed, he combined in an un- 
usual degree the qualities which adorn and strengthen his profession 
and mark the possessor for sure distinction. 

• "With this excellent equipment of natural gifts and acquired 
accomplishments, Mr. Tremain achieved immediate success. He pre- 
pared many important cases and participated prominently in their 
trial. So early and unmistakably had his abilities been shown, that 
when Mayor Judson appointed him Corporation Counsel, the fitness 
of the selection was universally recognized. His administration 
fully vindicated the public confidence. He reduced expenditures. 



Eighth Generation. 287 

took the work on his own shoulders, cut off extra counsel, success- 
fully defended the city in many suits and effected a large public 
saving. Throughout his service he was impelled by a deep and con- 
scientious sense of public duty, and when he retired it was with the 
sincere and cordial respect of all his fellow-citizens. Less than ten 
years at the bar, he had yet acquired such a standing that the Re- 
publican State Convention last fall unanimously presented him for 
the high office of Attorney General — a very marked tribute to so 
young a lawyer. During the progress of that canvass these columns 
contained a statement of some of the more important work which he 
had done in the law, and it was a record which few men of his years 
could equal. Though devoted chiefly to his profession, Mr. Tre- 
main's sympathies and activities were not confined to it. He felt a 
warm interest in the higher range of politics and public questions, 
and was a favorite on the political rostrum. Occasionally he turned 
aside from the exacting demands of law to woo the muse of literature. 
Perhaps his most notable address of this character was that which 
he delivered at Schoharie on the dedication .of the monument to one 
of the captors of Major Andre — an address which attracted wide at- 
tention. 

"Mr. Tremain united the highest personal attractions with in- 
tellectual grace and moral strength. There was manly beauty in his 
form and manly virtue in his character. He was clean, pure, gener- 
ous and ardent. No unworthy instincts debased the moral symmetry 
of his being. His manner was kindly and sincere ; his words were 
gentle and persuasive ; his whole individuality won the honor and 
esteem of all who knew him. He had a frankness and nobility of 
character with which only honorable aspirations could be associated. 
And with it all there was so much vitality, so much of virile life and 
strength, that he seemed the very picture of ideal manhood. How 
closely the blow strikes to those who were identified with him and 
counted him among themselves ! We can hardly realize that he is 
gone — gone in the very flush of early life — gone within the few days 
since his hand was grasped. Always thinking of him as he stood 
before us, we may say of him as Mr. Curtis said of another who also 
in the morning of life 'moved forward,' and who was not unlike our 
departed in stainless beauty of character and vigorous buoyancy of 
manhood — the brilliant Theodore Winthrop : 'Such was the electric 



288 History of the Treman Family. 

vitality of this friend of ours that those of us who followed him could 
only think of him as approving the funeral pageant, not the object of 
it. We did not think of him as dead. We never shall. In the 
bright spring morning, 'he was alert, alive, immortal.' " 

Another Albany paper said : 

"A sad and most painful duty has devolved upon the editor of 
this journal, — that of recording the death of Grenville Tremain, which 
occurred in this city yesterday afternoon about three o'clock. It was 
only so recently that he was about, apparently in full and vigorous 
health, attending to his professional duties, and there were so few of 
his acquaintances and friends aware of the fact that he was ill at all, 
that the announcement of his death causes an unusual shock, and 
falls with crushing weight upon those who knew, admired and loved 
him. Just at the opening of what promised to be a useful and per- 
haps even a great career, Grenville Tremain has been called away, to 
plead before a higher tribunal than any in which his voice was accus- 
tomed to be heard. In the full vigor of robust manhood, with the 
most brilliant prospects opening up before him, with everything in 
life to live for, the grave beckoned to him, and with his form closes 
in the noble aspirations and ambitions of a manly and generous 
nature, shrouds more than one household in gloom, and leaves a large 
circle of friends to shed tears that are idle because they cannot call 
him back. 

"Mr. Tremain was born in this city in 1845, ^^^ would have 
been thirty-three years of age if he had lived till next month. He 
was the second son of the Honorable Lyman Tremain, and early 
gave promise of the talents which he developed later in life. He was 
graduated from Union College in 1866, and from the Albany Law 
School a year later, subsequently to which he passed a rigid exam- 
ination before a committee appointed by the Supreme Court, and was 
admitted to practice as an Attorney and Counsellor-at-Law. The old 
and well known law firm of Peckham & Tremain, which had for years 
consisted of Judge Rufus W. Peckham and Lyman Tremain, was 
continued after the retirement of the former from active practice, the 
new firm consisting of Rufus W. Peckham, Jr., and Grenville Tre- 
main, with whom Hon. Lyman Tremain was associated as counsel. 
It speedily became one of the prominent legal firms of the city, and, 



Eighth Generation. 289 

indeed, of this part of the State. Grenville Tremain took naturally 
to the profession of the law. He had been properly trained for it. 
He possessed a logical mind, and that was sustained and reinforced 
by a remarkably acute and accurate memory. He did not forget 
things that he had once learned, and his capacity for learning was 
far above the average. Withal he was a pleasing and graceful 
speaker, a ready and courteous debater, and a thorough gentleman in 
his professional as well as in his private life. There are some law- 
yers who are gentlemen in their domestic and social relations, but not 
in their professional life. Grenville Tremain was not one of these. 

"Possessing these qualities, and besides them a thorough knowl- 
edge of the law, a most hearty and kindly manner, and a warm and 
generous disposition, it is no wonder that Mr. Tremain should have 
made rapid advances- in his profession, and in the confidence and 
esteem of his fellow citizens. It is not saying too much to remark 
that, at the time of his death, no man of his years in the city of Albany 
had more brilliant or more apparently certain prospects of a useful 
and distinguished career. 

"Mr. Tremain, while by no means an office-seeker — which, 
indeed, he could not afford to be — nevertheless always took a lively 
interest in politics and political affairs. He was a thorough going 
Republican, and for that party had done much effective service as a 
speaker in several important campaigns. He was a forcible and at 
the same time pleasant and popular speaker, and the announcement 
of his name was always certain to draw a crowd. Under the admin- 
istration of Mayor Judson, Mr. Tremain served with great accepta- 
bility as Corporation Counsel of this city, and last fall he received the 
unanimous nomination of the Republican State Convention for the 
honorable and responsible office of Attorney General of the State. 
Perhaps we could not speak more eloquently of his popularity among 
his friends and neighbors than by recalling the fact that in this county, 
which is supposed to have a legitimate Democratic majority of 2,500, 
Mr. Tremain last year received a majority of 600, 

"In all our municipal affairs, and in everything pertaining to the 
interests of our city, Mr. Tremain was deeply interested. He was an 
active member, an officer in and one year President of the Young 
Men's Association. We believe he was a life member of that body. 

"Mr. Tremain was married several years ago to Miss Martin, of 



2go History of the Treman Family. 

Auburn. His wife, and an interesting family of five young children, 

survive him. 

"The writer of this article had for some years been the associate 
and intimate personal and political friend of the deceased. Having 
known him so well, he feels justified in saying that a truer friend, a 
more generous-hearted gentleman, a more faithful man in the dis- 
charge of trusts committed to his care, never lived. Such a man 
must have made his mark, had his life been spared a few years. 
Indeed, he had already made it ; but in a few years more it would 
have been carved deeper and broader. The death of such a promis- 
ing man is not to be considered a personal affliction alone. It is a 
public loss as well. Our friend has been called away, not, indeed, 
full of years, nor even yet of honors ; but honored, and loved and 
mourned as one whom we knew to be faithful and true." 

Another Albany paper said : 

"The announcement of the death of Grenville Tremain, at three 
o'clock yesterday afternoon, was a painful surprise to the citizens of 
Albany, and will be received with regret by the public generally. No 
young man in this city was more widely known or universally re- 
spected for his brilliant talents and spotless character ; and certainly 
no member of the Bar in this State had a more promising future. 
His professional achievements had already won for him an enviable 
reputation as a lawyer ; while his oratorical powers, his acute reason- 
ing faculties, his familiarity with public questions, his persuasive 
eloquence, and magnetic personal qualities fitted him for political 
leadership, and justified the expectations of his friends that he would 
become eminent in public life. These expectations were suddenly 
crushed by the hand of death ; and the sorrow of his hosts of friends 
is the deeper because the blow was so unexpected. Most of them 
were unaware that he was ill ; for up to a week ago he was in the 
active discharge of his professional duties, in the apparent enjoyment 
of vigorous health. Indeed it was only within a day or two that his 
disease, typhoid fever, exhibited any alarming symptoms. 

"Mr. Tremain was a graduate of Union College, and subse- 
quently of the Albany Law School. He became a partner in the 
distinguished law firm of Peckham & Tremain in 1865 ; corporation 
counsel under the administration of Mayor Judson, and last fall

received the Republican nomination for attorney-general of the State. 
'•The deceased was a son of Hon. Lyman Tremain, who, we 
regret to learn, is lying seriously ill at his residence in this city. He 
leaves a wife and five children. To the afflicted family such a 
bereavement as this can be assuaged only by the consolations of 
religion, and the reflection that he has been called to higher rewards 
than this life affords ; but it may be some gratification to know that 
the sympathy of the whole community is extended to them in their 
overwhelming sorrow."

The following interesting letter on family history was written by 
him : 

"Fredonia, N. Y., Feb. 18, 1901. 
"M. E. Poole, Esq.: 

"Dear Sir^ — Your favor of 22nd ult. was received. I made 
inquiry of Mary Ward, of Naysance, Ont., only surviving child of 
Reuben Tremaine. She says his father's name was Solomon ; that 
he lived in Oneida County, N. Y. His children were Reuben and 
Joseph, sons by his first wife, name unknown to me ; and Henry, 
Benjamin, Squire, Polly and Dolly, children by his second wife, whose 
maiden name was Collins. It is stated that Solomon, the father, 
died at Watson, Lewis County, N. Y. Reuben Tremaine married 
Laura Gridley. Their children were David, George C, Gaius, Asahel, 
sons, and Harriet, who married John Merrill, Mary, who married 
John Ward, Laura, who married Virgil Mathew, first husband, Buell 
Fox, second husband, and Sophia, who married Clark Near, 

"Reuben Tremaine lived for the greater part of his life in Rod- 
man, Jefferson County, N. Y., but passed his last days and died in 
Sandy Creek, N. Y. He was an active compatriot with Revs. Finney, 



Eighth Generation. 295 

Knapp, and more particularly with Rev. Jedediah Burchard in their 
forays upon the 'hosts of Satan,' holding 'protracted meetings' in 
northern New York. Reuben was most generally known by his title 
of Deacon, but was ordained a minister of the Congregational church. 
As a preacher he would hardly be compared with his compatriots, 
but in prayer and singing he was very effective. I can in my mind 
hear him render, 'When I can read my title clear to mansions in the 
skies' even now. But he departed from this life in 1866 and his 
chance of reaching his inheritance in the aforesaid mansions was as 
good as that of any one I ever knew. His son David died many 
years ago in Wisconsin. George C. was never married and he died 
in Naysance, Ont. Gains married Mary Ann Sawyer ; her name 
appears in the book of the Sawyer family. She made the first prayer 
in the 'Crusade,' and was an earnest worker in religious and temper- 
ance affairs. She also has her present residence in one of those 
'mansions'. Gains passed most of his life in the town of Rodman, 
Jefferson Co., N. Y., where he served several terms as supervisor. 
He removed to Fredonia, N. Y., in 1864, and died in 1869. Gains' 
sons were George R. and Gains M., daughters, Pamelia S., Mary A., 
Emily J., Harriet N., Helen M., Grace E. and Lucy H. George R. 
and Harriet N. have died. The sons of George R. are Charles and 
Edward, who live in Pennsylvania. Gains M. (myself) has one son, 
Gaius M., Jr., and one daughter, Anne M., a graduate of Cornell 
University and of the Women's Medical College of New York City, 
and now has a position in 'Craige Colony' at Sonyea, N. Y. She has 
also been connected with the Board of Regents at Albany, N. Y, 
Gaius M., Jr., is the present Supervisor of the town of Pomfret, being 
where Fredonia is located. He has one son, Gaius M., the 3d. 
Asahel, the son of Reuben, had one son, William, who lives at Sandy 
Creek, N. Y. 

"Referring to the foregoing, I would say that I think the recol- 
lection of my aunt, Mary Ward, is dimmed by the years, reaching 
about ninety. She makes no mention of a Gaius who was an uncle 
or great-uncle of my father and was a soldier in the Regular Army 
of the U. S. I also think Reuben was born in Connecticut and that 
it is so stated on his tombstone at Sandy Creek, N. Y. There was a 
Solomon Tremaine in Rodman from whom 'Tremaine's Corners' 
took its name. He was a relative of Reuben and had a son, Tomp-

kins Tremaine, and Warren Tremaine ; the last I think lives in 
Cleveland, Ohio. Joseph Tremaine, brother of Reuben, lived many 
years at Laona, N. Y., close by Fredonia, and was for a considerable 
period a justice of the peace and known widely as Squire Treman. 
It is too bad that he should not have known how to properly spell 
his own name. The family are from the County of Cornwall, En- 
gland, where there is a manor held by the family. A book of heraldry 
published in England shows the name ; it was 'Tremayne'. But to 
return to the subject. The sons of Joseph were Ralph and George 
L. and perhaps others. George L. is a banker at Humboldt, Iowa, 
and an inquiry made to him might supply other information of the 
family beside that of his own father. Dr. William S. Tremaine, a 
surgeon noted in this region, has died since I wrote before. He used 
the final 'e' in the last years of his life as his surviving family do now. 
I supplied the information which caused the correction. Now this 
has been written in a crude way and I think if the matter is not 
urgent in the way of time I could dig up some more. A few years 
ago I could have obtained much more information, but the sources 
from which I could have obtained it are no more available. In your 
work you have my best wishes. Get as near to the flood as you can, 
but as I never heard of the name of Noah in the family records, I 
conclude that the mists of the ages have obscured it or else the Tre- 
maine family had a boat of their own. Of traditions which might 
have referred to that occasion, I have only the recollection of a men- 
tion of wet seasons when there was a poor outlook for the corn crop. 
I should be glad to hear from you again, and if I can supply any 
other material for your work will do so. 

"Yours, 

"Gaius M. Tremaine."

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 

8000. Joseph Truman, i. ("Early Generations of the Brew- 
ster Family" in New England Hist. Gen., Reg., vol. 53, 1899, gives 
the following information : "William Brewster, father of Elder Will- 
iam Brewster, was appointed by Archbishop Sandys, in Jan. 1575-6, 
receiver of Scrooby and bailiff of the manor house in that place 
belonging to the Archbishop, to have life tenure of both offices. 
Elder William Brewster, his son, matriculated at Peterhouse, Cam- 
bridge, Dec. 3, 1580, but it does not appear that he remained there 
long enough to take his degree. The name of Elder Brewster's wife 
was Mary. Her maiden name has not yet been discovered. She 
d. April 17, 1627, at Plymouth, New England. Jonathan Brewster, 
son of Elder William Brewster, married, April 10, 1624, Lucretia 
Oldham, of Darby. Their daughter Ruth was born Oct. 3, 1631, at 
Jones River. She married, March 14, 1651, John Picket, of New 
London. She died May i, 1677. He d. Aug. 16, 1667.") 

Caulkins' History of New London, Conn., says : 

"Jonathan Brewster, died in 1661. 

"No probate papers relating to his estate have been found ; but 
bills of sale are recorded, dated in 1658, conveying all his property 
in the town plot, and his house and land at Poquetannuck, with his 
movables, cattle and swine — 'to-wit 4 oxen, 12 cows, 8 yearlings and 
20 swine,' to his son, Benjamin Brewster, and his son-in-law John 
Picket. Feb. 14th, 166 1-2, Mr. Picket relinquishes his interest in 
the assignment to his brother-in-law, stipulating only 'that my mother- 
in-law, Mrs. Brewster, the late wife of my father, Mr. Jonathan 
Brewster, shall have a full and competent means out of his estate 



Appendix I. 307 

during her life, from the said B. B. at her own dispose freely and 
fully to command at her own pleasure.' 

"The same trustees, Brewster and Picket, also conveyed certain 
lands to their sisters, Grace and Hannah, but in the settlement of 
the estate, no allusion is made to other children. 

"Mrs. Lucretia Brewster, the wife of Jonathan, was evidently a 
woman of note and respectability among her compeers. She has 
always the prefix of honor (Mrs. or Mistress) and is usually presented 
to view in some useful capacity — an attendant upon the sick and 
dying as nurse, doctress or midwife — or a witness to wills and other 
important transactions. She was one of the first band of pilgrims 
that arrived at Plymouth in the Mayflower, December, 1620, being 
a member of the family of her father-in-law, elder William Brewster, 
and having one child, William, with her. Her husband came over 
in the Fortune, which arrived Nov. loth, 1621. 

"Jonathan Brewster settled first in Duxbury and was several 
times representative from that place. Subsequently he engaged in 
the coasting trade, and was master and probably owner of a small 
vessel plying from Plymouth along the coast to Virginia. In this 
way he became acquainted with Pequot Harbor, and entered the 
river to trade with the natives. In the spring of 1649 we find him 
overwhelmed with pecuniary disasters. Mr. Williams, of Providence, 
gives this notice of his misfortunes to Mr. Winthrop : 

" 'Sir (though Mr. Brewster write me not a word of it) yet in 
private I am bold to tell you that I hear it hath pleased God greatly 
to afflict him in the thorns of this life. He was intended for Vir- 
ginia, his creditors in the Bay came to Portsmouth and unhung his 
rudder, carried him to the Bay where he was forced to make over 
house, land, cattle and part with all to his chest. Oh how sweet is a 
dry morsel and aa handful, with quietness from earth and heaven.' 

"At the time of this misfortune, Mr. Brewster was purposing a 
change of residence and probably removed to Mr. Winthrop's planta- 
tion as soon as he could arrange his affairs with his creditors. He 
was 'Clarke of the Towne of Pequitt' in Sept., 1649. ^^^^ of his 
family came with hrni ; but several children remained behind. He 
had two sons, William and Jonathan, on the military roll in Duxbury, 
in 1643; ^^^ latter only sixteen years of age. William was in the 
Narragansett war of 1645, after which his name is not found on the 



o 



08 History of the Treman Family. 



old colony records. Jonathan disappears from Duxbury about 1649, 
and it may be assumed that these two sons died without issue. Two 
daughters are traced in the old colony — Lucretia mentioned at the 
early date of 1627, and Mary, who married John Turner, of Scituate. 
"At New London we find one son and four daughters. Benja- 
min married, 1659, Anna Dart, and settled at Brewster's Neck, on 
the farm of his father. Elizabeth married, first, Peter Bradley, 
and second, Christopher Christophers. She was aged forty-two in 
1680. Ruth married John Picket, probably about 1652. Grace 
married, August 4th, 1659, Daniel Wetherell. Hannah married, 
Dec. 25th, 1664, Samuel Starr. She was aged thirty-seven in 1680. 
Ezekiel Turner, a grandson of Mr. Brewster, from Scituate, settled in 
New London, about the year 1675." 

"John Picket, died August i6th, 1667. 

"It is much to be regretted that a full record of the early mar- 
riages, which were undoubtedly by Mr. Winthrop, was not preserved. 
The marriage of John Picket and Ruth Brewster belongs to the 
unrecorded list. Their children were : i . Mary, who married Ben- 
jamin Shapley. 2. Ruth who married Mr. Moses Noyes, tirst 
minister of Lyme. 3. William, who died about 1690. 4. John, 
born July 25th, 1656. 5. Adam, born Nov. 15th, 1658. 6. Mercy, 
born January i6th, 1 660-1. Married Samuel Fosdick. 

"Mr. Picket's estate was appraised at ^1,140. This was suffi- 
cient to rank him, at that period, as one of the wealthiest merchants 
of the place. 

"Ruth, relict of John Picket, married, July i8th, 1668, Charles 
Hill. 

"The three sons of Mr. Picket died young, and at sea; two of 
them, and perhaps all, in the island of Barbadoes. John and William 
were unmarried. 

"Adam Pickett married May i6th, 1680, Hannah, daughter of 
Daniel Wetherell. He died in 1691, leaving two sons: Adam, born 
in 1681 ; John, in 1685. The former died in 1709, without issue, so 
that the family genealogy recommences with a unit. 

"The Picket house-lot, at the southwestern extremity of the 
bank, descended nearly integral to the fourth John Picket, among 
whose children it was divided, and sold by them in small house plots, 
between 1740 and 1750. Brewer Street was opened on the western 



Appendix I. 



309 



border of this lot in 1745, and at first called Picket Street. John 
Picket, the fifth of the name, removed from New London, and with 
him, the male branch of the family passed away from the place. 
Descendants may be traced in the line of Peter Latimer, whose wife 
was Hannah Picket, and of Richard Christophers, who married Mary 
Picket, daughters of John Picket the fourth." 

"Benjamin Shapley, died Aug. 3d, 1706. 

"Benjamin, son of Nicholas Shapleigh of Boston, was born, 
according to Farmer's Register, in 1645. ^^ fi"d no difficulty in 
appropriating this birth to Benjamin Shapley, mariner, who about 
1670 became an inhabitant of New London. The facts which have 
been gathered respecting this family are as follows : 

"Benjamin, son of Nicholas Shapley, of Charlestown, married 
Mary, daughter of John Picket, April loth, 1672. Children: i. 
Ruth, b. Dec. 24th, 1672. Married John Morgan of Groton. 2. 
Benjamin, b. March 20th, 1675. Married Ruth, daughter of Thomas 
Dymond. 3. Mary, b. March 26th, 1677. Married Joseph Tru- 
man. 4. Joseph, b. Aug. 15th, 1681. Died young. 5. Ann, b. 
Aug. 31st, 1685. Married Thomas Avery of Groton. 6. Daniel, 
b. Feb. 14th, 1689-90. Married Abigail Pierson of Killingworth. 7. 
Jane, b. 1696. Married Joshua Appleton. 8. Adam, b. 1698. 
Died young. 

"Mary, relict of Benjamin Shapley, died Jan. 15th, 1734-5. 
The Shapley house-lot was on Main Street, next north of the Christo- 
phers lot, and was originally laid out to Kempo Sybada, a Dutch 
captain. Shapley Street was opened through it in 1746. Captain 
Adam Shapley, who received his death wound at Fort Griswold, in 
1 78 1, was a descendant of Daniel Shapley." 

8020. Joseph Truman. 34. Caulkins' History of New Lon- 
don, Conn., says : 

"Hallam. John and Nicholas Hallam were the sons of Mrs. 
Alice Liveen, by a former marriage, and probably born in Barbadoes 
— John in 1661, and Nicholas in 1664. John married Prudence, 
daughter of Amos Richardson, in 1682, and fixed his residence in 
Stpnington, where he died in 1790. His possessions were large; a 
thousand acres of land were leased to him in perpetuity by John 
Richardson of Newbury in 1692 'for the consideration of five shillings 



3IO History of the Treman Family. 

and an annual rent of one pepper-corn ;' and his inventory gives 
evidence of a style of dress and housekeeping, more expensive and 
showy than was common in those days. It contains silver plate, 
mantle and coat of broadcloth., lined with silk, 'seventeen horse kind,' 
four negro servants, &c. 

"Nicholas Hallam married Sarah, daughter of Alexander Pygan, 
July 8, 1686. Children: i. Alexander, born Oct. 22, 1688. 2. 
Edward, born April 25, 1693. Married Grace Denison. 3. Sarah, 
born March 29, 1695. Married Joseph Merrills. (Mrs. Sarah Hal- 
lam died in the year 1700.) Nicholas Hallam was married Jan. 2, 
1 700-1 to widow Elizabeth Meades whose maiden name was Gulliver, 
in Bromley church, on the backside of Bow without Stepney church, 
in London, Old England. Their daughter Elizabeth was born in the 
parish of St. John Wapping, near Wapping New Stairs, in London 
Feb. 22, 1701-2. Married Samuel Latimer. 5. Mary, born in New 
London, Oct. 11, 1705. Married Nathaniel Hempstead and Joseph 
Truman, 6. John, born Aug. 3, 1708. Married Mary Johnson. 

"Mr. Hallam's gravestone states that he died Sept. i8th, 17 14, 
at the age of forty-nine years, five months and twenty-nine days. His 
wife survived him twenty-one years. 

"At this period, many families in town owned slaves, for domestic 
service ; some but one, others two or three ; very few more than four. 
The inventory of Nicholas Hallam comprises 'a negro man named 
Lonnon,' valued at ;^3o; his wife disposes of her 'negro woman 
Flora and girl Judith.' Among the family effects are articles that 
were probably brought from England, when Hallam returned with his 
English wife in 1703 — such as a clock and secretary. Mrs. Hallam 
bequeaths to one of her daughters a diamond ring, and a chest made 
of Bermuda cedar ; to another 'the hair-trunk I brought from London, 
and my gold chaine necklace containing seven chaines and a locket.' 

"Alexander Hallam died abroad. The will of his father con- 
tains a bequest to him 'if he be living and return home within twenty 
years.' In 1720 his inventory was presented for probate with the 
label, supposed to be dead. Edward Hallam was town-clerk from 
December, 1720, to his death in 1736."

this as it may be a help with regard to the Tremain connection. I 
will be much obliged for any information you can give me on the 
subject. Hoping that you take as much interest in such things as I 
do, so that then it will not be a" trouble to you, I am,

born in Ireland in 1721. Was six years old when his father came to 
America. Settled in Bennington, Vermont. Was very prominent in 
New Hampshire grants dispute, taking side with New Hampshire. 
He was a member of the Provincial Congress in 1775, and was sent 
to England by the settlers on a mission to the King for redress of 
grievances. Was chosen on account of his courtly manners and fine 
bearing. Refused to bear arms against the King, in the Revolution, 
though he did not take any active part against the movement. He 
was expelled from the state, with his son-in-law, John McNeil, but 
was allowed to return, and died in Bennington. Mary, daughter of 
the above, married John McNeil, of Charlotte, Vermont. 

McNeil. The McNeils, along with other Scotch clans, were 
sent to the north of Ireland to act as a buffer against the wild Irish. 
After several generations, some of them came to this country ; among 
them, Captain Archibald McNeil, in about 1729. He came in his 
own ship, with a chest of gold at the mast. , His wife was Lady 
Sarah Johnson, from Antrim, Ireland. They were ship-wrecked — 
some say on the coast of Nova Scotia, others on Massachusetts Bay, 
The former is probably correct. Captain McNeil went to Brantford, 
Connecticut, and from there to Litchfield in about 1740. He served 
in the British Army as captain of a Connecticut company, during the 
French and Indian War (1756 to 1763). He went with the British 
Army to Ticonderoga, and also to Havana when that was besieged 
by the British. Date of death unknown. His son, John McNeil, 
was born in 1740 and died in 18 13. Married Mary Breckenridge 
and settled in Tinmouth before the Revolution. When Burgoyne 
made his invasion of New York, John McNeil asked for the protec- 
tion of the British Army. For this, he was called a Tory by a cer- 
tain faction, and his lands confiscated and seized by Ira Allen, brother 
of Ethan Allen. There is no evidence that he was a Tory, other 
than the above. He then moved to Charlotte, Vermont, where he 
was elected as Town Clerk, Representative, was Judge of Probate 
Court, Judge of County Court and was delegate to both Constitu- 
tional Conventions of 1791 and 1793. He is spoken of in the records 
as General McNeil ; but there is no known reason for the use of this 
title. His daughter, Mary, was born August 30, 17S0, and married • 
Ezra Meech. Note : John McNeil had a son, David, B. McNeil, w^ho 
was very prominent in the affairs of northern New York. He held

the commission as General, and was at the battle of Plattsburg. He 
was a brother of the above mentioned Mary McNeil. 

Meech. Henry Wallbridge, and brothers, William and Stephen, 
from Dorsetshire, England, fought with the Duke of Monmouth in 
his rebellion against James II., and after the defeat at Edgmore 
(1685), fled to America. They first settled at Dedham, Massachu- 
setts, then fled to Preston, Connecticut, near Norwich. Stephen 
changed his name to Meech, taking his mother's maiden name. 
Daniel Meech, son of Stephen, married Amy Wilcox, a woman of 
extraordinary beauty. Elisha Meech, son of Daniel, emigrated to 
Hinesburgh, Vermont, in 1785. Married Faith Satterly and had 
five sons. Ezra Meech, son of Elisha, was born in Connecticut, in 
1773, and married Mary McNeil in 1800.)

He was born Dec. 24 (o. 10), 1750, in Hebron, Conn, He married,

Talcott). She was born Sept. 21, 1757. He was the subject of the 
famous tract "The Faithful Steward". He removed to Middlefield, 
Mass., in 1776. Selectman, 1783-4; 1787-8. Representative, 
1811-12. 

Professor William S. Tyler's History of Amherst College says of 
him : 

"Col. David Mack was a truly Christian patriarch who left to his 
numerous descendants and to society the fragrant memory of a life 
of ninety-four years consecrated to piety and usefulness — was the 
subject of that well-known and highly instructive tract, entitled 'The 
Faithful Steward'. No one could see him for once and converse 
with him on the most casual subject without feeling that he was a 
genuine descendant and representative of the Pilgrim Fathers of New 
England.. And those who knew him most intimately, knew that he 
was just what he seemed, a living impersonation of their characteristic 
virtues. Gen. Mack himself was the worthy son of that worthy sire." 

The following is taken from the tract entitled, "Col. David Mack, 
the Faithful Steward". 

"He was of Puritan descent ; his ancestors were noble ones, for 
the blood of the Pilgrims ran in their veins and the love of the Pil- 
grims' God burned in their hearts. 



358 History of the Mack Family. 

"Col. Mack and his wife had each fifteen brothers and sisters ; 
and Jabez EUis his maternal uncle, lived till he was one hundred 
years and forty days old, and was connected with his wife in marriage 
seventy-six years. 

"In those days, family government had not changed hands ; 
children were subject to their parents. But not so all; there were 
some who, like the sons of Eli, made themselves vile and were not 
restrained ; and it was among such, that Col. Mack was situated in 
his youth. But his parents prevented him from running to the same 
excess of riot. 

"They absolutely debarred him from attending the fairs, horse 
races, dances and other amusements in which his neighbors freely 
indulged. 

"And when David — feeling as he did, that this separating him 
from all associates, was unreasonable and unjust — ventured to remon- 
strate with his father, as they were together in the field, the reply of 
the good man was, 'My son, I do this to save you from ruin ; for 
mark me, those young men will assuredly come to a bad end.' This 
prophetic speech was sadly and literally fulfilled ; three of them 
expiated their crimes on the gallows, others were sent to the state 
prison, and all came to a lamentable and disgraceful end. 

"Not so with him who was trained in the way he should go, and 
did not depart from it when he was old. He honored his father and 
mother, and his days were long in the land, which the Lord gave 
him ; and that too, notwithstanding imminent exposure to death. 

"As he removed his family from Hebron to Middlefield, in 
crossing the river at Norwich, the unexpectedly high water swept 
them rapidly down the current, to the point of being carried over the 
dam ; when looking for death, and the spectators giving them up for 
lost, Providence, at the moment of despair, ordered a way for their 
escape safe to land. 

"Afterwards, as he was hunting in the deep snow in pursuit of a 
large deer, the animal suddenly turned on him, pressed its antlers 
against his breast, and set its fore feet on both his snowshoes, holding 
him fast ; and thus crippled, it was with difficulty that he got in hand 
his hunting-knife, and with his utmost remaining strength, drew it 
across the deer's throat, when the animal struck him with the hind 
foot a terrible blow upon one of his temples, which completely stunned 



Fourth Generation. 359 

and almost killed him. As near as he could judge, he lay senseless 
about an hour. On recovering, his first thought was, 'I am dead !' 
but rising up, he found that the deer was dead and lying prostrate at 
his feet. 

"Thus was he delivered out of his distresses, that he might serve 
his generation by the will of God, and that God might fulfill the 
promise of long life to one who honored his parents, not only while 
they lived, but long after they had departed this life. And not only 
did Colonel Mack honor his parents 'he rose up before the hoary 
head, and honored the face of the old man'. While yet a youth, an 
aged man of choleric temper had, from some unknown cause, con- 
tracted towards him a strong dislike. Meeting him one day, Mr. 
Mack saluted him respectfully, but received only the unkind reply, 
'Don't speak to me.' 'I shall speak to you,' said he, 'for I have 
always been accustomed to respect age, and I always intend to do it.' 
This changed his churlishness towards him ever after into civility ; 
thus exemplifying the truth that, 'a soft answer turneth away wrath'. 
It may be remarked that this respect for his parents and the aged 
was a result of parental fidelity. 

"The son, thus faithfully dealt with, was in his turn faithful in 
all his house. He, too, ruled well, having his children in subjection. 
'My father,' says one of them, 'excelled in government. He never 
inflicted punishment without fully setting forth the criminality of the 
offense and its evil consequences, calmly and coolly, without excite- 
ment or passion ; but he did not desist till there was a perfect yield- 
ing, a full confession and promise of amendment ; and would often 
add, 'It is because I love you that I punish.' 

" 'We were,' he continues, 'kept in on the Sabbath, and taught 
the catechism and had other religious instruction, which he faithfully 
imparted. He never allowed his children to be absent in the even- 
ing without his permission, and he required their return by nine 
o'clock. And not only did he command his children but his house- 
hold. He had for several years twenty or more in his family in the 
summer, and in the most hurrying time of business he insisted that 
all under his care should be present at family devotions, and attend 
public worship on the Sabbath. If a hired man persisted in using 
profane language he dismissed him.' 

"Such fidelity in the stewardship God crowned with his blessing. 



360 History of the Mack Family. 

He gave him thirteen children, three sons and ten daughters, all of 
whom lived to be married, and twelve of them became members of 
the church of Christ. They are honored of God and their country, 
and their children in their turn are rising up and calling them blessed. 
His descendants, living and dead were, at the time of his decease, 
about two hundred ; there were eight or ten of the fifth generation 
his grandchildren's grandchildren. These, as well as his other 
relatives, he regarded as a high trust, concerning which God would 
require an account of his stewardship. For their temporal and spir- 
itual welfare, he labored, prayed and counselled. As evidence of this 
and of his general Christian character, a few extracts will here be 
given from letters written in the later period of his life, for he brought 
forth fruit in old age. 

"Writing to a child, December 10, 1824, he says: 'By the grace 
of God, I have been carried through the various stages of manhood, 
and am this day seventy-four years old. I have set apart this day 
for prayer, and have been reading the forty-second Psalm. I have 
enjoyed in some measure the light of God's countenance. O, it is 
good to draw nigh to God, for he has styled himself a prayer-hearing 
God ; and never said to the seeid of Jacob, seek my face in vain.' 

"'December 12, Lord's Day. I had great desire to enjoy the 
light of God's countenance, for which I attempted to pray ; and I 
think my poor feeble attempts were not in vain. My enjoyment con- 
tinued through the day and evening. Thanks to Almighty God, that 
he can subdue the hardest heart and bring, such sinful rebels as I am 
to bow before him. When I look back on my life and see how I have 
lived, more than forty years since I experienced religion, if indeed I 
ever did, I have reason to blush and be ashamed and repent in dust 
and ashes. I feel that I have more reason to be thankful to God, 
than any of the sinful race. If he should see fit to continue me in 
life, my prayer to him is, that he would make me more faithful in his 
service, and that the remainder of my days may be filled up with duty 
and usefulness to God and man.' 

"In 1832 he writes: 'Alas! my dear children, with shame and 
confusion of face, I am often confessing before the throne of grace, 
that when I would do good, evil is present with me ; that while I 
delight in the law after the inner man, I am so drawn aside by my 
indwelling corruptions, the snares of the world and Satan's tempta- 



Fourth Generation. 361 

tions, that were it not for a strong belief, that I have an advocate 
with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, who is the propriation for 
our sins, and the sins of the whole world, I could have no confidence 
towards God, being condemned by my own heart. In short, I can 
do no other, than allow, that all my best services are defiled with 
sin, and need to be washed in that fountain, which the Lord has 
opened for sin and uncleanness.' 

"In 1835 he wrote to a brother : 'For many years I have thought 
much on the importance of being prepared for death ; but it appears 
to me that during the last year, I have grown more in the knowledge 
of Christ than in any previous year of my life. I can say in my most 
favored moments, I know him, I love him, I am his and he is mine. 
No name awakens such tender and interesting feelings in my mind as 
his ; nor is there any being in the universe, whom I so much delight 
to honor or desire to see. And why should it not be so ? We are 
under greater obligations to him than to all the world besides. We 
have more to do with him, every day of our lives, than with any other 
being in the universe. No being in heaven so much beloved as he 
is ; none has manifested such love towards us as he has. No wonder 
that our heart and flesh should cry out for him. 

" 'My dear brother, if you and I are what we profess to be, we 
shall be in a short time with him, where he is, to behold his glory, 
which he had with the Father, before the world was. Although my 
health is good, my reason tells me, the time I have to stay here is 
short. I often look over my life, to see if I have done anything on 
which I could place the least dependence, viewing it as righteous in 
the sight of a holy God ; but comparing my life with his holy word, I 
am constrained to say that in all things I have come short of my 
duty. I have nowhere to go but to God through Christ, and plead 
for mercy in his name.' 

"Again he writes Dec. 10, 1835 : 'My dear children, I am this 
day eighty-five years old. I have spent most of the day in calling to 
mind the numerous blessings of which God, in his holy providence, 
has made me the unworthy partaker, and in reading and meditating 
upon the 25th and 29th chapters of Genesis, the 34th chapter of 
Exodus, 32d of Deuteronomy, and the two last chapters of Joshua. 
I enjoy good health, and have attended meeting every Sabbath this 
season. When I call to mind what God has done for me, and what 



362 History of the Mack Family. 

miserable improvement I have made of his numerous mercies, I 
have great reason to be humbled before him.' 

" 'December 31, 1835. In the good providence of God, I am 
brought to the close of another year. There is no closing year in 
eternity. The solemn influence of this season is among the means of 
grace connected with a probationary state. 

" 'My dear children, it becomes you and me, faithfully to exam- 
ine the foundation of our hope, and see to it, that we are not deceived ; 
that when God shall call us hence we may be prepared for the sum- 
mons ; our work done, and well done, for which 'the time is short.' 

" 'January i, 1836. I have been loudly admonished the year 
past by the deaths of many aged friends. I am the oldest man in 
town — there is not one living who was here when I came. In one 
sense I am almost alone ; in another, I am not alone. I enjoy the 
presence and smiles of my Saviour in my room, which is the best of 
company. I have great enjoyment on the Sabbath, in going to the 
house of God, in hearing the Gospel, and in visiting my Christian 
friends on week days. If I am not deceived my evidences for heaven 
are brighter, and my faith stronger as I advance in life. 

" 'Yet, many times I see myself to be so great a sinner, it seems 
impossible I should be of that happy number whose sins are forgiven. 
And yet, I do not despair of mercy on account of the greatness of my 
sins, for I firmly believe that the atonement which Christ has made 
is sufficient to atone for my sins and for the sins of the whole world. 
He 'came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance,' such 
as feel themselves to be sinners, old sinners.' 

"In 1836 he thus addressed his grandchildren: 'My dear and 
much esteemed grandchildren : — God, in his holy providence, has 
lengthened out my unprofitable life much longer than I expected. He 
has bestowed upon me many blessings. My health is as good as it 
ever was. I can read with spectacles and some without. My hear- 
ing is perfect. Although my health is good, my reason tells me I 
have but a short time to stay in this world of trouble and sin. May 
I so live, that when God calls me home, to be here no more, I may 
be found watching, and enabled through grace in Christ Jesus, to 
give up joyfully my spirit to him who gave it. 

" 'It is uncertain whether you will ever hear from your aged 
grandfather again in this way ; will you therefore, my dear grand- 



Fourth Generation. 363 

children, allow me to give you a few words of advice ? I have great 
concern for your temporal and spiritual good ; and knowing, as I do 
from experience, how liable young people are to go astray, from the 
commands of God, into forbidden paths, I would warn you of your 
danger. Be careful what company you associate with, for such will 
be your character. 

" 'Never marry for riches or beauty, for beauty is vain and riches 
take to themselves wings and fly away. Exercise judgment. Be well 
acquainted with the temper and disposition of your intended bosom 
friend before you decide. Lay hand suddenly on no one. When 
you commence housekeeping, be careful to erect the family altar. 

" 'Let me enjoin it upon you, often to read your Bible, with 
prayer to God, for a right understanding of what you read. Be 
always ready to do your part in supporting the Gospel. The man 
who is not willing to support the Gospel, cannot, with propriety, be 
called a good member of society. 

" 'Despise not the poor, because he is poor. The great object 
of our existence is to glorify God, in whom we live and have our 
being, and who bestows all our comforts. Take heed that you faith- 
fully perform all the duties and business of life, from a regard to his 
commands and with reference to his glory.. We are placed in this 
world to labor for him, (not to become rich and great), and to do 
all the good we can. Let it be your aim to have the glory of God as 
your ultimate end in all you do. I desire to commit you to, and 
leave you with, the Father of all mercies and God of all grace. 

" 'That you may be directed safely through an evil world to 
God's heavenly kingdom, is the sincere prayer of your aged grand- 
father, David Mack.' 

"Bv such counsels as these, and a corresponding example, and 
fervent prayers, he was a faithful steward in the care of the children 
which God gave him, and also of his children's children ; and this 
labor was not in vain in the Lord, for most of his grandchildren are 
hopefully pious. 

"Col. Mack's early advantages were very limited, for previous to 
his marriage he had been to school but six weeks. He once expos- 
tulated with his father because he did not give him more opportunity 
to attend school. His father replied, 'David, I never went to school 
but three weeks in my life ; you have been six and ought to be satis-

fied.' But this did not satisfy him. He afterwards went to the 
common school of those days with his own children, and spelled in 
the same class with his son David who was six years old. 

"Thus improving his mind. Col. Mack increased in understand- 
ing. He kept along with the progress of the times. He was a 
friend and patron of learning, and gave large sums in aid of public 
seminaries. He assisted indigent young men in their studies, and 
offered his three sons a liberal education. 

"His life is identified with the entire history of the town in which 
he lived ; in his prime he was prominent in all its public affairs, con- 
stantly filling some office of trlist and honor, as selectman, assessor, 
justice of the peace, representative to the legislature, colonel of the 
militia and deacon of the church. To this last office he was early 
appointed, and served in it acceptably until he resigned at seventy- 
five years of age. 

"It was principally by his agency that Middlefield was incorpor- 
ated into a town, the advantages of which were from the first foreseen 
by him. Having obtained a knowledge of the region while hunting, 
and defined the boundaries for a new town, he called a meeting of 
the citizens to consider the matter. They approved the object, but 
dreaded the expense and, the opposition of the interested towns. He 
told them he would undertake the business ; if successful, they 
should defray the expenses ; if he failed, the loss should be his own. 
They consented, and he succeeded. The act of incorporation was 
granted March 12, 1783. It was also mainly through his agency, 
that the meeting house was erected in 1791. Previous to this reli- 
gious meetings were held in his barn and large chambers of his house, 
and town meetings in his kitchen. He occupied the pew in which he 
was first seated, fifty-four years, during which period more than thirty, 
who were at different times his seat mates, deceased. 

"He attended constantly on divine worship. He was not afraid 
of the snow and vapor, the stormy wind, rain or distance. He was 
glad to go ; he was joyful in God's house ; he sat there with great 
delight, and the preaching seemed better and better. Col. Mack had 
a heart for it ; and for years, until there was a religious society in 
Middlefield, he Avent, on foot, to Chester, six miles, during a great 
portion of the year. And, in the winter's cold on those mountains, 
he frequently went with an ox sled, carrying his own and his neigh- 



Fourth Generation. 365 

bors' families. This occupied him from sunrise to sunset, and fre- 
quently longer. 

"He had a strong constitution, good health, a keen discernment, 
sound judgment and untiring industry. Besides the land on which 
he settled, then a wilderness, he used facetiously to say, that when he 
removed to Middlefield, his property consisted of a poor horse, an 
axe and his wife and child. 

"Thus it was not much that he had to begin with ; but he was 
industrious, economical and faithful ; so prompt in the payment of his- 
debts, that no one, in any instance during his long business life,, 
called for money due from him, without his paying it ; a peculiar 
excellence and worthy of all imitation, 

"He was a merchant as well as a farmer; and he established 
many young men in the mercantile business in the adjacent towns. 
He also established in business the first blacksmith, the first boot 
and shoemaker, and first saddle and harness maker who followed 
their respective trades in Middlefield. 

"In those days it was not customary to promote benevolent 
enterprises, but he was in advance of the times in which he lived. In 
large sums he bestowed more than eighteen thousand dollars ; and 
his smaller offerings, to promote human welfare, are supposed to 
have been not less than eighteen thousand dollars more. He was 
one of the founders of the Hampshire Missionary Society ; and he 
made himself, by his contributions, a life member of twelve benevo- 
lent societies ; and, at a period when it was regarded as doubtful 
whether all the missionary societies in the country could support one 
missionary in a foreign land, he removed that doubt by a donation of 
one thousand dollars, which, at that time, was an almost unparalleled 
act of liberality. 

"In the year 18 14, he presented each of his children with a set 
of Scott's Family Bible, which cost him three hundred and sixty dol- 
lars. He left for the church and society, of which he had so long 
been a member, a fund of three thousand dollars for the support of 
the Gospel, in all coming time. 

"Col. Mack was not too faithful. He felt that he had done too 
little for the Savior who died for him. His hope was in Christ and 
in him alone. He felt himself to be nothing but a sinner saved by 
grace. He lived till satisfied with long life. Though his hearings

■was yet perfect, and his eye scarcely dim, and his natural force not 
much abated, he did not wish to live longer ; his days were full, his 
■work was done, he chose to depart, 'and he was not for God took him.' 
"The youngest child was twenty-seven years old before there 
was a death in the family."

She was born in 1779. He removed to Kinderhook, Columbia 
Co., N. Y., and from there to Cooperstown, N. Y., and later to 



370 History of the Mack Family. 

Owego, N. Y. He, while a merchant at Cooperstown, had a contract 
in 1799 with the government to furnish about 100,000 spars, to be 
deUvered at Baltimore. In March of that year a freshet in the Sus- 
quehanna river carried away all the timber, which he had purchased 
and paid for in goods out of his store, and made him a bankrupt. He 
removed in 1799 to Owego, N. Y. He engaged again in the mer- 
cantile business. He purchased, in 1805, the American Farmer 
printing office, and pubhshed the newspaper until his death. He 
was a prominent and influential citizen. Justice of the Peace. 
Supervisor, 1807-8, 1811-12. First Judge of Broome County, N. Y., 
18 1 2-1 4. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and Aug. 28, 
1804, was one of the petitioners for a lodge at Owego. He was a 
taxable inhabitant of the Town of Tioga, Tioga County, N. Y., in 
1802. He died April 14 (o. 16), 18 14, at Owego, N. Y. His second 
wife Mary died Feb, 20, 1862, at the same place. 

"Stephen Mack was born in New Marlborough, Mass., March 
20th, 1766. He was twice married; first to Mary Chambers, who 
died while they resided at or near Cooperstown, leaving four children, 
Elizabeth, Stephen, Phoebe and Ebenezer. Subsequently he married 
in 1797 at Cooperstown, N. Y., Mary Serjants, daughter of Lemuel 
Serjants then recently from Bellows Falls, Vt. She survived him 
nearly half a century and died at Owego February 20th, 1862. By 
his second wife he had two children, Horace and Maria. Mr. Mack 
removed to Owego in 1799 and soon became one of the most active 
and prominent citizens. We find it recorded that 'in the early settle- 
ment of Owego he held the office of Commissioner of Highways, 
Assessor, Excise Commissioner and Constable and that he repre- 
sented the town of Owego on the Board of Supervisors in 1807, 1808, 
1811, 1812. He also served several years as Justice of the Peace. 
From Nov. 11, 18 12, until his death which occurred at Owego, April 
1 6th, 1814, he held the office of First Judge of Common Pleas of the 
County of Broome under a commission from Governor Tompkins. 

" 'Sometime previous to 1807 he became the publisher of the 
American Farmer which he continued until his death, but in the few 
copies of this paper that time has spared we find little or nothing by 
way of editorial to give a clue to his cast of mind, political bent or 
literary ability. His remains now lie in Evergreen cemetery, having 
been twice removed, first from the old ground on Court Street to the 



Fourth Generation. 371 

Presbyterian yard on Temple Street and thence, in 1875, to their 
present resting place.' " 

The following is from Gay's Historical Gazetteer of Tioga County : 

"Judge Stephen Mack, the second newspaper publisher in 
Owego, was born in Massachusetts March 20, 1766. In 1799, while 
keeping a general country store in Cooperstown, N. Y., he made a 
contract with the United States government to furnish about 100,000 
spars, to be delivered at Baltimore, Md. He purchased the timber 
in the winter, paying for it in goods from his store. In March, 1799, 
while about to start it down the river there came a great freshet, 
carrying away and scattering along the stream all of his timber. He 
came down the river to Owego in quest of his property, but ascer- 
taining that it would cost him as much to secure it as it would be 
worth when gathered together again, he abandoned his search. The 
loss of his timber made him a bankrupt. 

"During his sojourn in Owego he had become impressed with 
the beauty of the Susquehanna valley and its apparent advantages to 
settlers, and he at once returned here to live. He was a man of 
great vigor, enterprise and ability, and he at once became an active 
and prominent citizen. He engaged in the mercantile business, in 
which he was successful. He was prominent in public affairs and 
held the offices of commissioner of highways, assessor, excise com- 
missioner and constable, and he represented the town of Owego in 
the board of supervisors in 1807, 1808, 1811 and 1812. He also 
served several years as justice of the peace. From 1812 to 1815 he 
was first judge of the court of conunon pleas of the county of Tioga. 
He died in Owego April 16, 18 14, in the 49th year of his age. His 
remains were interred in the old burying ground in Court Street. 
They were afterward removed to the Presbyterian yard in Temple 
Street. In 1875 t^h^y were again removed to Evergreen cemetery." 

The following is a copy of his commission as County Judge :

"Dep. Secretary." 

At the time of her death the "Owego Gazette" of Feb'y 27th, 
1862, said : 

"Departed this life on Thursday, the 20th inst., at the residence 
of her son-in-law, John Carmichael, Esq., Mrs. Mary Mack, aged ^T) 
years, consort of Hon. Stephen Mack, one of the early residents of 
this Village. Indeed, he may almost be said to have been a pioneer 
in this locality, for he settled here as early as 1799. Partaking in a 
large degree of the elements of personal popularity, and combining 
talent with conceded integrity and purity of purpose, he was among 
the most prominent of the public men of this section of our State, 
and filled many stations of honor and public trust. His family con- 
sisted of three sons and three daughters : Stephen, Ebenezer, Horace, 
Betsey, Phoebe and Maria. The three former resided many years in 
the Village of Ithaca, Tompkins County, and were among the most 
useful and respectable of the citizens of that place. The eldest was 



Fourth Generation. 373 

a lawyer by profession, the second edited for a long period a public 
paper and subsequently was elected to the Senate of this State, and 
the third was distinguished for his moral worth and business capacity 
as a merchant. The eldest daughter, Betsey, married Benjamin 
Benedict, Esq., for many years a resident of the county of Delaware, 
some time since deceased. Phoebe, a Mr. Crawford, and Maria, the 
youngest, was the former wife of Mr. Carmichael. She died at 
Owego, N. Y., Sept. 22, 1829, 8 p. m., ae. 29 y. 2 ms. 22 d. These 
children are all dead with the exception of Mrs. Benedict. Judge 
Mack died in 18 14, and the subject of this notice has remained his 
widow from that tirne down to the period of her death. Blest by 
nature with a strong constitution, and possessing great physical and 
mental energy, she seemed admirably calculated for the labors and 
responsibilities incident to her early life ; and, indeed, she retained 
those qualities until within a short period before its close. In the 
year 18 18, she united herself with the Presbyterian Church in this 
village, and it may with much truth be said that her daily walk and 
conversation have been in conformity with her profession. In a 
conversation with her pastor, a few days before her death, she 
expressed a full confidence in her religious faith, but seemed to enter- 
tain some dread as to the moment of conflict when the soul was to 
separate from the body. We are happy to learn, however, that before 
the hour of dissolution came, her mind was at rest upon that point, 
and that nine o'clock on the evening of the day already announced, 
she feel quietly asleep, in the arms, as we trust, of her Saviour and 
Redeemer : — 

'Mild as a saint, whose errors are forgiven ; 
Calm as a vestal, and composed as Heaven.' " 

The following ancient deed was acknowledged before William 
Piatt, Esq., father of U. S. Senator Thomas C. Piatt :

Children : 

14016. Elizabeth. Born Feb. 6. Married ( ist), Benjamin Benedict of 
Delaware Co., N. Y. ; (2nd), a Bartley. 

14017. Stephen. Born Dec. 29, 17S4, at Kinderhook, N. Y. He gradu- 
ated at Yale College in the class of 1813. He studied law with 
Hon. Samuel Sherwood, M. C, of Delhi, N. Y. Admitted as 
attorney May 16, 1817 ; counselor, Jan. 15, 1822 ; solicitor same 
date. He removed, in 1814, to Owego, N. Y., and about 1S16 
to Ithaca, N. Y. Master in Chancery. The following letter 
refers to his appointment as Commissioner of the Supreme 
Court: "Albany, 19 Dec, 1838. Dear Sir — I have received 
your letter in relation to your not receiving your Commission 
of Comr. of the Sup. Court. I am now at the Sug. Office and 
on examining the Records find that you were appd. on the J 8th 
Apr. last. It appears by the Records here that your commis- 
sion was duly made out and forwarded to the Clerk of Tompkins 
Co. It is probable that it is now in that office but if it is not 
and has miscarried another will be made out and forwarded on 
my receiving notice that the previous one was not reed. I will 
return Judge Dana's resignation if I can lay my hands on it. 
At all events he may consider it not accepted. It will not be 
handed over tn my successor without his direction. Yours, &c. , 
W. L. Marcv." At the time of his death the "Tompkins 
County Democrat" said : "Died, in the Village of Ithaca, on the 
7th of January, 1857, of consumption, Stephen Mack, aged 72 
years. His funeral will be attended at 10 a. m. of Friday next 
from the residence of Mrs. E. Mack. Stephen Mack was born 
Deceml^er 29th, 1784, at Kinderhook, N. Y., and therefore at 
the date of his death, was about 72 years of age. He graduated 
at Yale College almost half a century ago, having belonged to 
the class of 1S13, of which Senator Badger, of North Carolina, 



Fourth Generation. 377 

is one of the few surviving members. He studied law with 
Samuel Sherwood, of Delhi, N. Y., and, upon the death of his 
father, moved to Owego, from whence, about the year 1816, he 
came to Ithaca, and commenced the practice of law, which he 
continued until the period of his death. He was never married. 
As a lawyer he was methodical, diligent and learned, and often- 
times in a case requiring great study, care and investigation, a 
formidable adversary. Quiet and retired in his habits he min- 
gled little with the world, and gave almost his entire time to 
study and reflection. His illness was brief, originating in a 
sudden cold, and rapidly advanced to a fatal termination. In 
his death another of the links binding the present to the past 
has been rudely sundered. He was a brother of Ebenezer and 
Horace Mack, who, though younger in years, preceded him to 
the grave, and whose memories yet linger freshly among us. 
Now all are gone, and we shall see their familiar and accus- 
tomed faces no more among the scenes of life." The same 
issue of "Tompkins County Democrat" said : "At a meeting of 
the Bar of Tompkins County, held January 8th, 1857, upon 
occasion of the decease of Stephen Mack, Caleb B. Drake was 
appointed chairman, and Amasa Dana, secretary. Upon mo- 
tion, Messrs. B. G. Ferris, Alfred Welles and F. M. Finch were 
appointed to draft appropriate resolutions, upon whose report 
the following were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That in 
the removal by death of our professional brother, Stephen 
Mack, we feel called upon to pay that respect to his memory 
which his character deserves as one of the oldest members of 
the Tompkins Bar — as a diligent student, a learned lawyer, an 
honorable practitioner, and an honest man. Resolved, That as 
a mark of our respect for the memory of the deceased, we 
attend the funeral in a body. Resolved, That a copy of these 
resolutions be furnished to the press of our village for pub- 
lication. (Sgd.) Caleb B. Drake, Ch'n. Amasa Dana, 
Sec'y." The following are copies of his licenses to practice law :

Smith's History of Buffalo and Erie County, N. Y., says of him : 

"In 1805 the principal settler in the territory of Boston was 
Deacon Richard Gary, a veteran who had served in the American 
army during the greater part of the Revolution. He was an ener- 
getic and industrious farmer, but a feeble wife and eight children had 
depleted his store, until on his arrival at his new residence he had 
but three cents in his pocket and was two dollars in debt. Here he 
soon made himself a comfortable home."

twenty-one years old, he was a man of extraordinary size and 
strength, weighing nearly three hundred pounds. He was 
found with his broken musket (still preserved by his kindred) 
lying by his side, and tradition asserts that being pursued by 
three Indians he shot one dead and killed another with his 
clubbed musket, but was shot, tomahawked and scalped by the 
third."

Professor William S. Tyler's History of Amherst College says of 
him : 

"Hon. David Mack was a member of the Board of Trustees of 
Amherst College from 1836 to 1854. He was born in Middlefield, 
Mass., in February, 1778. He fitted for college at Windsor Hill, 
where Roger Sherman was his fellow-student ; but his eyes failed him 
and he was compelled to relinquish a public education. For twenty 
years he was a merchant in his native place. In 1834 he removed 
to Amherst. 

"He was several times Representative from Middlefield in the 
General Court, and once a member of the Massachusetts Senate from 
Hampshire County. He was also a member of the Governor's Coun- 
cil. In 18 1 2, he commanded for some months the militia of Boston, 
and thus acquired the title of General, by which he was usually 
known. For many years he was the senior deacon of the church in 
Amherst. 

"Elected a member of the Board of Trustees shortly after his 
removal to Amherst, he continued a member till, after eighteen years 
of faithful service, his connection was dissolved by death. During 
nearly all these years he was a member also of the Prudential Com- 
mittee, and of building and ' other working committees generally. 
Bemg a resident in town he was always present at the meetings and 
constantly charged with special duties and responsibilities in relation 
to the College. At the same time he was always ready to contribute 
liberally to its pecuniary necessities according to his means. 

"Gen. Mack died September 6, 1854, aged seventy-six years. 
'He was a man of great decision of character and a devoted Christian,

perform or pecuniary sacrifice he could make.' "

14482. Julia. Graduate of a Ladies' Seminary. Married Moody Har-

says of him : "In an account of one of the College 'revivals' of 
religion, of which there were many — this one in 1831, Moody 
Harrington, class of '31, did a work which, if he had never done 
anything else, would entitle him to a place among those who are 
wise and turn many to righteousness. ' ' And in a note the follow- 
ing : "Mr. Beecher (Henry Ward, who entered Amherst in 1831), 
is accustomed to speak of Mr. Harrington as almost his spiritual 
father, to whom he owed more religiously than to any other 
man in College. Mr. Harrington afterwards married the daugh- 
ter of Gen. Mack. " 153 10.

was offered twice a professorship in the Homeopathic Medical Col- 
lege in New York City, was Censor many years and received from 
that institution the degree of M, D, in 1876. 

The National Cyclopedia of American Biography says : 

"Hallock, Lewis. He was born June 30, 1803, in New York 
City, son of Jacob and Sarah (Mather) Hallock. His father, a 
native of Southold, L. I., was a prominent merchant in New York 
until his death in 18 13. The family descends from Peter Hallock, 
leader of a colony ; the first white settlers on the eastern end of 
Long Island, where they purchased a large tract of land from the 
Indians and founded the town of Southold. After the death of his 
father, Lewis Hallock went to live with his grandmother at Matti- 
tuck, L. I., and completed his preparatory education at Clinton 
Academy, the second incorporated school in the State. He began 
the study of medicine with his uncle, Dr. Elisha Hallock, of Southold, 
and at the end of the year returned to New York City to continue 
his preparation under Dr. James W. Francis and at the College of 
Physicians and Surgeons, where he was graduated M. D., in 1825. 
After fifteen years of successful practice, his attention was called to 
the homeopathic system of medicine, then rapidly gaining strength 
in America, and after carefully investigating its claims, he announced 
himself a convert. The same course was pursued by a goodly por- 
tion of his classmates. In 1846 he joined the Homeopathic Institute 
of America, and later also the county and state societies ; being 
President of city and county societies for one year each. For many 
years he was one of the board of censors of the Homeopathic Medi- 
cal College, in which he was twice offered and declined a professor- 
ship, and in 1876 received from its faculty and trustees the honorary 
degree of M. D. This honor was conferred on the occasion of the 
fiftieth anniversary of his graduation, when a dinner was given him 
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He lived to see the seventieth anniver- 
sary of the same event, and then received another complimentary 
dinner at the Savoy Hotel from the New York Medical Club, at 
which several highly congratulatory speeches and a poem by Dr. 
William Tod Helmuth were delivered on his nearly unparalleled 
record as an active practitioner. Although living to the advanced 
age of ninety-five, he continued in active practice until within a few

Jays of his death. Throughout Hfe he was an earnest advocate of 
:emperance, having as a young man founded the Young Men's Total 
fVbstinence Society, which in 1836 pubHshed a weekly paper advo- 
:ating the cause. To his principle in this regard he attributed his 
ongevity, and indeed his unusual quickness of comprehension and 
■apidity of judgment was an excellent evidence of faculties well 
-ised. His contributions to homeopathic periodicals were numerous 
ind representative, and to his influence is attributed much of the 
Dopularization the system has achieved. At the annual meeting of 
:he American Institute of Homeopathy, held in Newport, R. I., in 
[une, 1895, he was greeted with the greatest enthusiasm and made a 
'ew appropriate and pleasing remarks. Personally, Dr. Hallock was 
in exemplar of the most charming, old-fashioned, courtly manners 
md bearing, and although justly popular with a wide circle of friends 
ind professional associates, was pre-eminently domestic in his tastes, 
belonging to but one club."

MRS. ELEANOR DEY MACK 




SENATOR EBENEZER MACK 



Fifth Generation. 395 

"New York, January 7, 1815. 
"The bearer, Mr. Ebenezer Mack, is a young man of genius, 
intelligence, sobriety and integrity, a good writer (in verse and prose) 
and correct republican, and a capable and quick workman as a 
printer ; as I have found by the experience of between three and 
four years past. "Charles Holt, 

"Edit. Columbian." 

The Ithaca Democrat in 1888 published a History of St. John's 
Protestant Episcopal Church of Ithaca, N. Y., which contained the 
following reference to him : 

"April 8, 1822, a few faithful churchmen held a meeting in the 
Methodist 'Meeting House' and organized an Episcopal Church. 
Ebenezer Mack was chosen a vestryman." 

At the time of his death "The Flag of Our Union," said : 

"Our village is again called to mourning — and not only the 
village, but the county and the state at large. 

"This morning, at half-past six o'clock the stroke of death 
passed upon Ebenezer Mack, Mr. Mack was a man of rare endow- 
ments ; for him nature had done much, and the talent and qualifica- 
tion thus bestowed, was, through the changes of an extended and 
busy life, improved, for the benefit of society, by the most untiring 
industry and a never yielding energy. 

"Possessed of a strong mind and cultivated intellect, which was 
always actively engaged for the good of those around him, Mr. 
Mack laid deeply, in the regard of our whole community, the founda- 
tions for that high estimate for character and moral worth, which 
now, in the realization of his loss, is everywhere manifested. He 
was a man of the most sterling integrity, none more reliable in 
friendship than he, none more ready to engage in any work of public 
importance and utility, and push it to a successful issue. Providence 
prospered him greatly in his undertakings, and he had the happiness 
of living to see his family, his friends, and this his cherished village, 
with all its religious, benevolent, literary and business institutions, 
eminently prosperous. 

"Mr. Mack has filled a large place in the political concerns of 
our county and state, having been for many years a member of the 
Assembly and of the Senate, postmaster in the village, and printer to 



396 History of the Mack Family. 

the Senate. In his poHtical as well as in his social connections, his 
loss will be deeply felt. 

"Mr. Mack was born at Kinderhook Landing, now Stuyvesant, 
in 1 791. In early life he came with his father's family to Owego. 
There his father purchased the printing establishment of the late 
Dan Conger, and published a paper called the American Farmer, 
(if we recollect rightly.) Here Mr. Mack acquired his knowledge 
of the craft. He aided, and after his father's death, succeeded as 
the publisher. This establishment he sold to S. B. Leonard, Esq., 
from whom, we think, it received the name — the Owego Gazette. 

"After some improvement in his qualifications in New York, 
Mr. Mack came to this village, then in its incipient condition, in 
181 5, and purchased a press, etc., which had been started here by 
IngersoU and Shepherd. This was the origin of the Ithaca Journal 
which was conducted by him, as editor, for many years. The 
exertion of his talents and industry resulted in giving to that paper 
the high character which, under him, it enjoyed at home and abroad. 

"About twenty-six years ago William Andrus, Esq., became 
associated with him in the concern, and the business was gradually 
but speedily extended from the small beginning of a very limited 
book and stationery establishment connected with the newspaper, 
until it has become the largest bookstore, printing office, bindery and 
paper making establishment in western New York. The interest of 
Mr. Mack in the Journal ceased many years since, as is well known. 
"Mr. Mack was a member of the Episcopal Society in this village. 
He died of consumption in the fifty-ninth year of his age. His 
decease occurring this morning just as we were about to put our 
paper to press, (we stopped for this notice), it is not in our power to 
do what would be just to the memory of the deceased, and satisfactory 
to our own feelings. 

"To our village the language of Divine Providence, in the 
removal, within a short time, of many of our most prominent and 
useful men, is very express. The loss of Frederick M. Camp, Daniel 
Bishop, i5en Johnson, Timothy S. Williams, Charles F. Woodruff 
and Ebenezer Mack, would be felt in any city of the Union. There 
is no exemption from the inevitable decree. 

"Alike the river's lowly tide 
Alike the liunible violet's glide 
To that sad wave. 
I.et us look for light l)eyond the tomb."

late Ebenezer Mack, died, aged 82 years. So hath passed from 
earth to the rest of the blessed, one who was truly a mother in Israel. 
Ripe in years, steadfast in Christian faith, full of charity toward the

Bank. Member of first Fire Company in Ithaca, 1823. He was 
member of the building committee when the present court house was 
erected, in 1854. 

Goodwin's History of Ithaca says : 

"About the year 1822 an almost fatal encounter took place be- 
tween Horace Mack and a German fencing master. Mr. Mack had 
expressed some doubts regarding the qualifications of this gentleman, 
who resented it very highly, and the final result was a challenge by 
the German to fight a duel. The challenged of course having the 
choice of weapons, selected pistols. The day and hour were chosen, 
and the place for the affair of honor appointed on the banks of the 
Six Mile creek, directly opposite the reservoir of water called the 
'Hemp Hole,' which was about ten feet deep. At the appointed 
time and place for the deadly combat to come off hundreds of 
people, of all sexes and ages, were found awaiting on the banks, 
where they soon expected to see the green turf drink the blood of 
the vanquished. The good sense of Mr. Mack and the seconds 
proved most valuable. The arrangements and order were perfect. 
The combatants approached each other, as is usual, to shake hands, 
when Mr. Mack, taking a rather strong hold of the man of the sword, 
and with a peculiar look, and a more peculiar trip and jerk, sent the 
offended German headlong into the ' Hemp Hole' where he was 
received without a dissenting voice. The roars of laughter which 
followed the maneuver were loud and hearty and we doubt not are 
still heard by the man, who failing in subduing his rival foe, took a 
hasty and precipitate retreat from the county." 

At the time of his death "The American Citizen" said : 

"Hon. Horace Mack, one of our oldest and most respected 
citizens, died in this village on Monday afternoon last. Mr. Mack 
was a merchant among us many years ago, in which capacity he 
formed an extensive business acquaintance, and won the esteem and 
respect of all. He was elected to the Assembly of this state from 
this district some years since, the duties of which station he per- j 
formed with ability. In 1849 he was elected clerk of this county in 
which office he acquired the renewed confidence of the entire com- 
munity. As a private citizen and a neighbor Mr. Mack has ever 



Fifth Generation. 399 

been beloved, and he leaves behind him a population who are in 
sorrow at his loss." 

The following is from the "Ithaca Journal and Advertiser" of 
Sept. 1 2th, 1855 : 

"Mr. Horace Mack, an old resident of our village, died on 
Monday afternoon last, of prevailing disease, dysentery. Mr. Mack 
was for many years a merchant here, and in that position he won 
the respect of the entire community. He was elected County Clerk 
in 1849, and served out his term with honor to himself, and in all 
the public stations which he has filled, he has ever been esteemed 
and beloved." 

The following notice of Horace Mack appeared in the same 
paper (Ithaca Journal and Advertiser) of date Sept, 19th, 1855 : 

"As our paper of last week was going to press we were suddenly 
called upon to briefly record the decease of Horace Mack, Esq., one 
of our oldest and most esteemed citizens. We say oldest, not in 
years, but as a citizen of Ithaca, having been identified with its 
business and interests for the space of nearly forty years. 

"He was brother of the Hon. Ebenezer Mack, who established 
the Journal we now continue, and whose decease a few years since 
we recorded. 

"Mr. Mack was born at Cooperstown, Otsego County, January 
20th, 1799, and in infancy removed with his father's family to 
Owego, Tioga County, where he resided until the year 181 7, when 
he made Ithaca his residence and where, with slight exceptions, he 
resided till his decease. 

"Mr. Mack's history is nearly that of the mercantile history of 
our village. On his coming to Ithaca he entered the mercantile 
house of Mr. Levi Leonard, then one of the largest operators in our 
infant place, where he remained till 1820, when Jeremiah S. Beebe, 
Esq., from New York, made this his home, and Mr. Mack entered 
his establishment as salesman and acted as such until the year 1825, 
then commenced business on his own account under the firm of H. 
Mack & Co., since which time, excepting 1834-5 — when on account 
of ill health he made his residence in Spencer, Tioga County, and 
gave his attention to farming and milling — his history was that of 



400 History of the Mack Family. 

the mercantile history of our place until 1848, when he retired from 
active mercantile life. 

"Politically, Mr. Mack was a Democrat of the old school, and 
in that way largely enjoyed the confidence of the public. He repre- 
sented this county in the Legislature in 1832, during the stormy 
times of the United States bank question, and aided in sustaining 
our state institutions against that gigantic monied power. ^ He was a 
member of the board of directors of the Tompkins County Bank, 
from its organization in 1836, till his decease. He was Clerk of the 
County from 1850 to 1853. 

"The deep sympathy manifested by the pubHc in view of his 
demise, is the fruits of a life not alone devoted to his individual 
interest. He possessed a large and liberal heart, and his freedom 
from selfishness endeared him to all who were favored by his acquaint- 
ance. In him the young man, the mechanic, the laboring man, 
always found a sympathizing friend, the public a faithful servant, 
and society one of its most desired ornaments. Of him as a hus- 
band, father and neighbor, we need not speak, for to all who thus 
knew him his loss is irreparable." 

In the same issue also appeared the following : 

"At a regular meeting of Ithaca Lodge No. 71, held at their 
room, on Friday, Sept. 14, 1855, the following resolutions reported 
by Bros. Selkreg, Buckbee and Wells, were unanimously adopted : 

"Whereas, The Almighty Ruler of the Universe has seen fit in 
his Providence to remove from active hfe, Horace Mack, a member 
of this Lodge, who as a merchant commanded the respect and 
esteem of his fellow tradesmen, whose character as a public officer 
was above suspicion, and who as a man has left a void which will 
long remain unfilled, therefore 

"Resolved, That while the shadow of the grave hides all his 
faults if any ever existed, and while his virtues grow brighter from 
the knowledge that we shall see him no more on this earth forever, 
we mourn the departure of Bro. Mack, one of our most enterprising 
citizens, and condole with the family of the deceased and his stricken 
relatives, who knew him more intimately than the world, and loved 
him more fully and entirely. 

"Resolved, That, as a sense of our loss as an order, and our 



Fifth Generation. 401 

sympathy with the bereaved friends, that a copy of these resolutions 
be presented them, entered on our minutes and published.

Tioga County, N. Y., 1837. Treasurer of the Tioga County Agri- 
cultural Society, 1842-6. 

At the time of his death the "Owego Gazette" said : 

"Again we are called upon to record the death of one of Owego's 
oldest and most respected citizens. John Carmichael died at his 
residence on Church Street at six o'clock yesterday morning in the 
eighty-third year of his age, after an illness of several months. 

"Mr. Carmichael was born at Johnstown, Montgomery (now 
Fulton) County, August 12, 1795. At the age of sixteen years he 
went to Albany and commenced an apprenticeship to learn the trade 
of a jeweller and watchmaker. He came to Owego on the 31st day 
of October, 18 19, and hired a shop in Caldwell Row, a wooden 
block of stores which occupied the ground on which the western 



402 History of the Mack Family, 

portion of the Ahwaga House now stands, and commenced business 
as a jeweller. In 1835 he built a store on the ground now occupied 
by the Tioga National Bank where he continued to conduct a suc- 
cessful jewelry business until his building was destroyed in the 
great fire of September, 1849. As he was in poor health at that 
time, he retired permanently from active business, being succeeded 
by his sons, who continued the business in Lake Street. 

"Mr. Carmichael was twice married — first on the 25th of Decem- 
ber, 1824, to Maria Mack (daughter of Judge Stephen Mack, 
deceased) who died Sept. 22, 1829; afterward, June 10, 1835, to 
Harriet Ely, who survives him. 

"Mr. Carmichael was the first Collector of the Village of Owego 
at the time of its organization in 1827 and was elected every year 
thereafter to 1834 inclusive. He was also one of the Village 
Assessors in 1845, 1851, 1852 and 1853. 

"Mr. Carmichael has been an active, conscientious and useful 
citizen. In business affairs he has been scrupulously correct. A 
man of kind and amiable sentiments and feelings, he was universally 
esteemed. He was for many years a faithful member of the Pres- 
byterian Church and he lived and died a true Christian. He leaves 
a wife and one son, Mr. Charles S. Carmichael." 

He died April 24, 1878. She died Sept. 22, 1829.

Center to take pins from the throat of a child, other physicians 
having failed. He succeeded so well that they invited him to come 
and settle there, and while there had the appointment of two profes- 
sorships. Geology and Chemistry. After some years he was 
appointed to make a geological survey of Ohio, and he was so 
successful that New York invited him to make a survey of that state. 
He removed to Albany, and while there, wrote several books on

Geology, made the beginning of the best cabinet of minerals in that 
state. He surveyed North Carolina, found gold, purchased a large 
tract of land, he and his family spending part of the time in North

The National Cyclopedia of Biography says of him : 

''Ebenezer Emmons, geologist, was born at Middlefield, Hamp- 
shire County, Mass., May 16, 1799, son of Ebenezer and Mary 
(Mack) Emmons, nephew of the celebrated divine, Nathaniel 
Emmons, D. D., and descendant of an early settler of Connecticut. 
His father was a farmer, and between home duties and attending 
school he found a little time, when a boy, to spend in collecting 
insects and minerals, a taste he developed early. He was sent to 
Plainfield, Mass., to study under Rev. Moses Hallock, pastor of the 
Congregational Church there, who was famed as an educator, and 
had at various times, as members of his family and pupils, William 
Cullen Bryant, John Brown of Ossowotamie and James Henry Coffin, 
the meteorologist. From Plainfield he went to Williams College 
where he had as instructors in science Amos Eaton and Chester 
Dewey, and was graduated in 1S18. He then entered the Rensselaer 
Polytechnic Institute at Troy, N. Y., and was graduated in 1826. 
In the same year he published a 'Manual of Mineralogy and Geology' 
for use as a text-book in the Institute. He now studied medicine at 
the Berkshire Medical School, and settled as a practitioner in 
Chester, Mass.; but in 1828 removed to WiHiamstown, Mass., and 
in the same year was appointed lecturer on Chemistry in the college. 
In 1833 his department was broadened, a chair of Natural History 
being founded, but he was retained at its head and remained pro- 
fessor of Mineralogy and Geology after the department was divided

in 1859, serving until his death. From 1830 until 1839 he held the 
additional position of junior professor in the Rensselaer Institute. 
Dr. Emmons carried on, at the same time, an extensive practice and 
rose to the head of his profession in Berkshire County. In 1836 he 
became connected with the geological survey of New York State, 
having been appointed by Gov. Marcy. He chose the second dis- 
trict, which included the Adirondack mountains, partly because that 
region abounded in minerals ; partly because it gave him an oppor- 
tunity to verify certain conclusions propounded by Professor Eaton 
in his lectures at Williams College. These related to a system of 
stratified rocks, constituting a subordinate range of the Appalachian 
system, and including the Berkshire, Mass., and Vermont limestones. 
Professor Emmons, in his geological report published in 1842, 
claimed that this system of rocks, which he named the Taconic, after 
the range to which belong Mt. Washington and Greylock, in Massa- 
chusetts, underlaid and was older than the Siluvian system. This 
opened a controversy with other geologists that continued up to the 
time of his death, and he was denounced and ridiculed unmercifully ; 
but his conclusions were strengthened by later discoveries and are 
now accepted, in part at least, by nearly all American geologists. In 
the latter part of 1842, by appointment of Gov. Seward, Prof. Emmons 
became custodian of the collections made by the survey, which had 
been arranged by Prof. Vanuxen and Prof. Hall at Albany, and 
aided the latter in completing the work in agriculture and paleontol- 
ogy. In 1843 he gave up paleontology to devote himself, by appoint- 
ment, to an investigation of the agricultural resources of New York 
State, and published five reports (1846-54) treating of the geology, 
climate, soils, agricultural products, insects injurious to vegetation, 
and allied subjects. He resigned his custodianship in 1848, and 
about the year 185 1 was appointed State Geologist of North Caro- 
lina, and, besides 'determining the probable age of the red sandstone 
belt that stretches from the Connecticut valley to North Carolina,' 
made important discoveries of fossils in- the coal measures of the 
Deep and Dan rivers. Three volumes of reports were published 
(1856-60), one of these relating to the geology of the midland 
counties ; the other two to the agriculture of the eastern counties 
and to the science of agriculture in general. His published writings 
not already mentioned are: 'Toology of Massachusetts' (1840),

dealing with the quadrupeds ; 'American Geology' (1855); 'Manual 
of Geology' (1859). His name is borne by one of the Adirondack 
peaks and by the highest summit of East mountain in the Berkshire 
hills. He remained in North Carolina after the Civil War broke out, 
and died in Brunswick County in that state."

15550. Dr. Levi H. Fenner. He was born at Delaware

He was one of the "Forty Niners" who went to California and 
accumulated a moderate fortune after a five years' stay. He returned 
home and studied medicine and graduated at the Cleveland Medical 
College. Homeopathic physician. Captain in the New York State 
militia. 

At the time of his death a Norwalk, Ohio, newspaper said of him : 

"The many friends of Dr. L. H. Fenner will receive the intelli- 
gence of his death with deep regret. He died in Cleveland last 
Wednesday night. He had been in poor health about two months, 
and a short time previous to his death he took up his abode at the 
Cleveland Water-Cure, hoping to be benefited by Hydropathic treat- 
ment. But all efforts were unavailing, and he has been cut down in 
the full vigor of manhood. 

"Dr. Fenner came to Norwalk a little more than a year ago and 
became associated with Dr. Tifft in the practice of medicine. His 
correct and gentlemanly deportment, together with the strict atten- 
tion which he paid to the practice of his profession, caused him to be 
highly esteemed by our citizens generally. In his death, we feel 
that our town has lost one of its best inhabitants." 

When he and his companions started from New York City they 
purchased the ship Comorro in which they made the journey around 
Cape Horn to San Francisco. He engaged in business there and 
bought the interests of his partners in the ship. He loaded the ship 



424 History of the Mack Famil,y. 

with hides and started it for New York City, under Capt. Nathaniel 
Gorden. The Captain threw the hides overboard and sailed for the 
coast of Africa and engaged in the slave trade. Mrs. Fenner corre- 
sponded with the American Consul at Rio Janeiro, Brazil, and the 
Captain was arrested, tried, convicted and executed. She was chiefly 
instrumental in securing his conviction. 

The following is a copy of a document in connection with the 
affair which proves the value of her testimony at the trial : 

"U. S. Marshal's Office, 
"Southern District of New York. 
"New York, July 3rd, 1866. 
"I certify that previous to the Execution of Nathaniel Gordon, 
the African Slave Trader, in this City, in February, 1862, I delivered 
to President Lincoln certain papers furnished me by Mrs. Fenner, 
disclosing the fact, that Gordon had stolen the Brig 'Camargo,' be- 
longing to her husband, and proceeded with her to the coast of 
Africa, and after taking on board a cargo of negroes, thence pro- 
ceeded to the coast of Brazil. After discharging the negroes and 
selling them, he burned the vessel, and made his escape in women's 
clothes. These papers were delivered to the President by me, about 
a week previous to Gordon's Execution, in order to prevent a com- 
mutation of his sentence. 

"RoBT. Murray, 
"Seal. U. S. Marshal." 

The New York Tribune of Dec. 17, 1868, said: 

"A writer in The Atlantic Monthly, referring to the execution of 
Gordon, the slave trader, says : 'Whatever Gordon's life may have 
been worth to him or to his friends, I think this country put it to a 
very good use when she hanged him. A storm of protests was 
made against his death. Twenty-five thousand people petitioned 
Abraham Lincoln to spare that man's life, and Abraham Lincoln 
refused. Gordon was hanged. All through the little ports and big 
ports of the United States it was known that a slave trader had been 
hanged. And when that was known, the American slave trade 
ended. All up and down little African rivers that you never heard 
the names of it was known that an American slave trader had been 
hanged, and cowardly pirates trembled, and brave seamen cheered

when they heard it. Mothers of children thanked such gods as they 
knew how to thank, and slaves shut up in barracoons, waiting for 
their voyage, got signal that something had happened which was to 
give them freedom. That something was that Gordon was hanged. 
So far that little candle threw its beams.' " 

Dr. Fenner died April 28, 1858, at Cleveland, Ohio. Residence 
Ludlowville, N. Y., and Norwalk, Ohio. 

Children : 

15551. Helen Augusta. Born Feb. 13. 1842. Died March 4, 1845. 

15552. Andrew Myers. Born March 18, 1846. 16000. 

15555. Samuel Love, Esq. He was born in 1797. He 
married (3d), Sept. 9, 1879, Arvilla (Myers) Fenner. 146 16. 

The History of Four Counties, so-called, says of him : 

"Prominent among the members of the Tompkins County bar, 
in days past, and the pioneer of that respectable body, in fact, is 
Samuel Love, who for upwards of half a century practiced law in 
Ithaca. Samuel Love was born in Kingsbury, Washington County, 
N, Y., July 28, 1797, and is consequently now (1878) in the eighty- 
second year of his age. His father, John Love, was born in Rhode 
Island, in June, 1764, and his mother, Annar Burnett Love, was also 
a native of that state. In January, 1813, the family removed from 
Washington County to the town of Groton (then Locke) where 
Samuel received the rudiments of his education at the public schools. 
His father died in 1823, and his mother in 1842, and the only sur- 
viving members of his family direct are one brother, Isaac Love, of 
Ithaca, and a sister, Esther, now the wife of John D. Fuller of 
Moravia, N. Y. Mr. Love commenced the study of law with Lewis 
Tooker, and completed his legal studies in the office of Alpha H. 
Shaw. He was admitted to the bar of Tompkins County in 1824, 
and two years later was made a practitioner in the Supreme Court 
of the State. He entered upon the duties of his profession with a 
commendable determination to succeed, and after a long and suc- 
cessful practice has nominally retired on a well-earned competency. 
In 1828, Mr. Love was elected Clerk of Tompkins County, and such 
was the satisfaction he gave in that responsible office that he was 
re-elected in 1831, serving in all six years. In 1835 he was appointed 



426 History of the Mack Family. 

District Attorney, which position he retained six years, performing 
its duties impartially and well. The main characteristics in the 
career of Samuel Love has been a desire to discharge all public and 
private duties in a conscientious and upright manner, to maintain a 
reputation for individual rectitude and integrity, and, in short, to 
make a personal application of the Golden Rule, believing that the

father's death, he remained but one year. He conducted a manu- 
facturing business from 1856 to i860, and was thereafter employed 
in various local enterprises until 1882. Since the latter date he has 
served as Assistant in the Land Department of Cornell University. 

"Aside from occasional contributions to the local press, his 
published literary efforts have been few. He wrote a Historical 
Sketch of Ithaca for the Centennial year, 1876, which, in modified 
form, was published by Everts & Ensign, Philadelphia, in their 
'Hrstory of Tioga, Chemung, Tompkins and Schuyler Counties,' 
1877; Histories of the towns of 'Chicopee,' 'Amherst' and 'Hadley'

a member of the School Board, from March, 1875, to July, 1883." 

The Owego Gazette of May 30, 1878, contained the following 
interesting letter from him : 

"Ithaca, May 25th, 1878. 
"Messrs. Beebe & Kingman : 

"The dates of the file of the old American Farmer in my pos- 
session are from August 29th, 1810, to July 2d, 181 1, — vol. 8, Nos. 
8 to 47 inclusive — whole Nos. 367 to 411. All have the cut of an 
eagle in the heading, such as described by you. The legend borne 
in the beak of the bird I have deciphered to be 'Pleuribus Unum.' 
E seems to have gone astray. As mention was made in your article 
of 23d of my father's apprenticeship to the printing business, and its 
abrupt termination at his father's death in 18 14,. I would merely add 
that he (Horace) was again apprenticed, but to the mercantile, not 
printing, business, to Horatio Ross, for five years from Jan. 20, 1815. 
This service was performed for a yearly salary, increasing from eighty 
dollars for the first year to two hundred for the fifth. In addition 
Mr. Ross agreed, in the language of the 'Indenture' (now before me,) 
*to find and allow the said Horace Mack, meat, drink, washing and 
lodging during the said term fit and convenient for the said appren- 
tice.' On the other hand, as to the apprentice, it reads, 'at cards, 
dice, or any unlawful games, he shall not play. Taverns or ale 
houses he shall not frequent. Matrimony he shall not contract.

From the service of his master he shall not depart, etc' This 
document is witnessed by Stephen Mack and Wm. Piatt. By the 
commission to Stephen Mack, Esq., which I have, dated Nov. nth, 
181 2, and signed by Daniel D. Tompkins, the said Mack was made 
first Judge of the Court of Common Pleas in and for the county of 
Broome. Emanuel Coryell was appointed first Judge of Tioga 
County March 31, 18 10, and was succeeded by Judge Gamaliel H. 
Barstow, June 22, 18 18. It appears, therefore, that Owego was then 
in the county of Broome.

Landmarks of Tompkins County says of him : 

"The first of the Hibbards to come to this county was Henry 
Hibbard, a native .of Winham, Conn., who came here in 18 12, and 
in partnership with Julius Ackley established the first hat manufactory 
in Ithaca, later adding a store in the same line. In 18 16 he married 
Rhoda Ackley, who died without issue, and he married second, 
Nancy Tillotson, in 18 19, by whom he had two children : Mary, who 
married Thomas St. John; and Henry Fitch Hibbard. Timothy, 
the father of Henry, first mentioned, came to this county about 1818, 
and settled on a farm in the northeastern portion of this town, which 
settlement has ever since born the name of Hibbard's Corners. He 
died in 1837. Henry Hibbard was one of the most prominent busi- 
ness men in the early history of this city (Ithaca), taking an import- 
ant part in all enterprises for the public good. He was heavily 
interested in real estate, and in 1828, in connection with Ackley & 
Beebe built the Clinton House which still stands as a landmark of 
the county. He died in 1863. Henry F. Hibbard was for a number 
of years the teller in the old Ithaca Bank, and later conducted a 
general store. In 1853, in company with Thomas P. St. John, he 
established a factory for the manufacture of sewing silks, which 
until 1861 was one of the leading industries of this section, at that 
year, however, he returned to the mercantile business. He was at 
one time greatly interested in speculation, but during his later years 
withdrew from all active business with the exception of his connection 
with the Savings Bank of which he was a founder. He was a Demo- 
crat and served as Supervisor at one time." 

At the time of his death the Ithaca Journal said of him : 

"In his death Ithaca loses one of its foremost leaders in all 
tliought and action regarding pubHc projects and its best advocate 
in all things looking to its weal. A man of sympathy, kindly 
impulses and untiring energy — his loss will prove a greater one than 
many of its citizens endowed with greater wealth. The organizer of

a yet young manufacturing business, daily increasing in importance, 
and in its demands upon his moments and energies, he never refused 
public demand upon either his time or purse. He was truly a warm 
hearted friend, a man of rare abilities, a companionable man and a 
public spirited citizen in all that the term implies. To those who 
know him best his memory will remain dearest."

reception of the victorious Cornell crew. Residence Ithaca, N. Y.

writer Printing and Publishing Co. Director in Weekly Underwriter 
Co. Member of Reform Club, American Geographical Society, 
Metropolitan Museum of Art and American Museum of Natural 
History. 

At the time of his death the Weekly Underwriter said editorially : 

"The life-record of our friend and associate, who died this week, 
appears on another page. It is full of the evidences of high principle, 
noble endeavor and the achievement of purpose. Mr. Mack's 
methods were quiet, but what he aimed to do he followed with per- 
sistence, and generally accomplished. We believe that no man in 
our vocation was more liked and respected by those whom he had to 
meet in business. The letters which have spontaneously come to us 
from prominent underwriters, deploring Mr. Mack's untimely death, 
show that he was indeed to them, as he must have been to all, 
persona grata. Further, no man could ever justly say that he had 



Sixth Generation. 459 

done him wrong ; very many could say, as did the citizens of the 
town whose good order and clean poHtics he defended, as an editor, 
with his Ufe at stake, that his career was a benefaction. To those 
who were nearer his service was a long blessing. Measured by these 
standards Mr. Mack's life was a success and an example. It can be 
summed up — the life of an earnest, manly. Christian gentleman." 

The same paper in another column said : 

"John Warren Mack died at his home, 471 Lenox avenue, in 
this city, early on Sunday morning, after an illness from typhoid 
fever of nearly seven weeks. His last appearance in this office was 
on Wednesday, October 10, when he attended to his usual duties, 
although he was already suffering from the first effects of his malady. 
It was a serious case from the beginning, and its progress was 
watched with much anxiety by his family and friends, and when the 
fever had run its course it left him too weak to rally. All that the 
best medical skill and the attentions of a devoted wife and children 
could do were of no avail. 

"Mr. Mack came from sturdy old New England stock, and was 
born at Bath, Steuben County, N, Y., March 11, 1848. His boyhood 
education was principally obtained at the Haverling Union School, 
at Bath, where he was prepared for college. He entered Cornell 
University in his twentieth year and was graduated with the class of 
1872, taking the degree of Bachelor of Science. Although his 
natural bent was for journalism, and his first venture in that direction 
was a brief experience at the case, the early years of his life after 
leaving the university were devoted to education. He had a taste 
for the acquirement of languages and became a proficient French, 
German and Italian scholar. These languages and the higher 
mathematics he taught at the Ithaca Academy and subsequently at 
the Delaware Literary' Institute. He was also for some time princi- 
pal of the North Cohocton public school. 

"The entry of Mr. Mack into the vocation of his choice was as 
editor of the Bayonne, N. J., Herald. This was about the year 1881. 
In 1883 he removed to Hornellsville, N. Y., to accept the post of 
business manager of the Herald, and, with a short incursion into life 
insurance as the local agent of the New York Life insurance com- 
pany, he continued with that paper until 1889, being the last two 



460 History of the Mack Family. 

years its editor. While he was occupying that position it became 
his duty to attack the poUtical rascaUties then rife at Hornellsville, 
and his fearless course so exasperated the gang in power that his 
editorial room was entered one evening when he was at work and he 
was brutally beaten and injured severely. The indignation of the 
community over the assault and its approval of his conduct as a 
conscientious journalist more than compensated him for his suffering 
in its behalf. He never failed to put into practice his conception of 
what was right, no matter what might be the possible consequences 
that threatened. 

"His public career and his reputation as a careful and intelli- 
gent statistician led to his call to the service of the Government in 
the taking of the census of 1890. He was appointed to the division 
of insurance statistics, acting as chief under the direction of Special 
Agent Charles A. Jenney. In 1894, when the census work was com- 
pleted, Mr. Mack accepted an offer to join the staff of The Weekly 
Underwriter, and became its outside business representative. In 
that capacity he was known to and highly respected by underwriters 
throughout the United States. He was a director and the secretary 
of the corporation by which the paper is published. 

"Mr. Mack was an unobtrusive professor of religion, and was 
from early manhood a member of the Presbyterian communion. On 
becoming a resident of the city of New York, in 1894, he connected 
himself with the Harlem Presbyterian Church, and at the time of his 
death was its senior elder. His strong business sense was of great 
value in the management of its secular affairs. In this beautiful 
church edifice the funeral services were held on last Tuesday even- 
ing. They were opened by the present pastor, and the funeral 
sermon was preached by his old pastor and friend, who was in charge 
when he became a member, and who paid a just and eloquent tribute 
to Mr. Mack's qualities as a man and a Christian." 

From the numerous tributes to Mr. Mack by his brethren of the 
insurance press, the following have been selected as expressive of 
their sense of the loss which has fallen on the profession and the 
community by his death : 

From the Insurance Age : 

"As we go to press we learn of the death, after a lingering ill- 



Sixth Generation. 461 

ness, of John W. Mack, of The Weekly Underwriter. In this brief 
space we can only add our small tribute to the testimonials which all 
who knew him are ready to pay to the splendid character and sub- 
stantial worth of this Nature's nobleman who has just passed on. As 
we lay him to rest, let it not be only with brimming eye and breaking 
heart, but also with joy at the remembrance of an .upright and spot- 
less Ufe, over which the King of Terrors can never wholly triumph.'* 

From The Chronicle : 

"He was a gentleman, was John W. Mack, a Christian gentle- 
man, and a newspaper man of thorough training, rare attainments 
and highest class. He was one of those men whose presence com- 
manded respect and consideration, because those whom he met in 
social or business intercourse recognized instinctively a nature of 
fine instincts and high ideals coupled with good taste and common 
sense. His death leaves a distinct gap in this profession, which 
needs just such men as he. Aside from our sense of personal loss 
at the death of a friend, we join with the fraternity in mourning the 
loss of a sterling character." 

From The Record : 

"He was a man of high character and fine attainments, a grad- 
uate of Cornell University ; and although of a retiring disposition he 
made and kept a host of warm friends among insurance men and 
his journalistic associates." 

From the Philadelphia Intelligencer : 

"John W. Mack was a true gentleman. He was also a trained 
and capable newspaper man who understood his work well and did 
it quietly but effectively. The one thing, however, that always 
impressed you when you met Mr. Mack for the. first time, and which 
grew on you the more times you met him, was that he was a gentle- 
man. Clean cut, positive as to his convictions, but kindly and 
courteous in his expression of his views and in his relations to those 
about him." 

From Thrift : 

"The news of the death of Mr. John W, Mack, the secretary of 
the Underwriter Printing and Publishing Company, on the 25th 



462 History of the Mack Famii,y. 

inst., was received with general regret by his co-workers in insurance 
journalism, and has called forth many tributes to Mr. Mack's memory 
from prominent life and fire underwriters." 

From the Insurance Advocate : 

"A scholarly and high minded gentleman, Mr. Mack was a 
credit to insurance journalism and gained the high respect of all with 
whom he had dealings." 

From The Surveyor : 

"While the deceased was, perhaps, not as widely known as 
some others, because of his retiring disposition, he was in his per- 
sonal character one of the shining lights of the business of insurance 
journalism. His death came as a shock to many who esteemed him 
greatly for his gentle sincerity and the abilities that his modesty 
could not conceal." 

From Views : 

"The death of Mr. John Warren Mack, secretary of the Under- 
writer Printing and Publishing Company, New York, who succumbed 
to typhoid fever the morning of the 25th ult., is deeply deplored in 
insurance circles. The practice of uniform courtesy and nicety to 
his colleagues, his unobtrusive nature and gentle manner, won their 
esteem and friendship. The Weekly Underwriter has, indeed, lost a 
good staff, and insurance journalism a conscientious and talented co- 
laborer." 

From the Insurance Monitor : 

"Insurance journalism lost an honored representative in Mr. J. 
W. Mack, who died on November 25 at his home in New York. Mr. 
Mack became connected with The Weekly Underwriter in 1894. 
Prior to that connection, he had been engaged in journalism for 
many years. He was an expert statistician, and was employed by 
the Government in the taking of the census of 1890, under Mr. 
Charles A. Jenny. Mr, Mack had the respect and esteem of all with 
whom he came in contact, and his untimely death is mourned by 
many friends." 



Sixth Generation. 463 

From the Insurance Herald : 

"Mr. Mack had been with The Weekly Underwriter since 1894 
and has contributed to some of the most important features of its 
work. He was a graduate of Cornell University and had been 
successively printer, teacher and principal of schools, life insurance 
agent, editor and business manager of journals in Bayonne, N. J., 
and Hornellsville, N. Y., and special insurance census supervisor of 
the Government from 1890 to 1894, previous to his connection with 
The Weekly Underwriter. Mr. Mack was in the prime of life, aged 
fifty-two, and will be greatly missed and deeply mourned." 

From The Vigilant : 

"Mr. Mack was able and conscientious ; everything he undertook 
to do he did well. He was always a gentleman, a good citizen and 
a loyal endeavorer for righteousness." 

From The Standard : 

"Few men will be more genuinely missed from the ranks of 
insurance journalism than John Warren Mack, of The Weekly 
Underwriter, New York, who died on Sunday of typhoid fever. A 
man of wide information, a skilled linguist, a gentleman always, and 
an enthusiast in his profession, of which he was a modest and yet 
conspicuous ornament, his loss in the midst of a successful and 
honorable career will be deeply deplored in journalistic and insurance 
circles, in which he was highly and deservedly esteemed. * * 
Mr. Mack's journalistic work was of the highest order — accurate, 
polished, and always honest. His loss will be felt especially by his 
colleagues on The Weekly Underwriter, who were greatly attached 
to him for his solid and endearing qualities. The funeral services 
were held in the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, New York, 
on Tuesday evening, and were attended by a large number of 
insurance journalists and insurance men. At a meeting of insurance 
journalists in the office of C. J. Smith. Mutual Life Building, on 
Tuesday, appropriate resolutions were adopted."

the Bank of Niagara, Bank of Suspension Bridge, Power City Bank 
and Niagara County Savings Bank of Niagara Falls, N. Y. 

Men of New York (1898) says of him : 

"Eugene Gary, prominent in the legal and political circles of 
Niagara Falls, was born in Dunkirk, N. Y., somewhat less than forty 
years ago. After attending the pubUc schools of his native place, he 
obtained higher instruction at Cornell University, graduating thence 
in 1878 with the degree of B. S. He then devoted a year to business 
in his father's hardware store at Dunkirk, and the winter of 1879-80' 
he passed as principal of a school at Sinclairville, Chautauqua 
County, N. Y. 

"By this time Mr. Gary had decided to make the practice of law 
his life-work. Entering the office of Judge Thomas P. Grosvenor, 
therefore, at Dunkirk, he applied himself with characteristic zeal to 
the task of mastering legal science. He continued his reading until 
August, 1 88 1, when the position of Superintendent of Schools at 



478 History of the Mack Family. 

Bedford, Iowa, was offered to him. He accepted this opportunity, 
and managed the pubUc schools of Bedford with marked efficiency 
for the next three years. He found a Uttle time for his law studies 
during these years in the West, and had no difficulty in passing the 
bar examinations at Buffalo in June, 1884. 

"From November, 1884, until October of the next year, Mr. 
Gary practiced law at Forestville, near Dunkirk, in partnership with 
Daniel Sherman. Niagara Falls was already beginning to give 
promise of its later industrial supremacy, and Mr. Gary resolved to 
settle there. Associating himself, accordingly, with Henry G. Tucker, 
he practiced at the Falls in the firm of Tucker & Gary from October, 
1885, until May, 1887. For the next six years he carried on a large 
practice without partnership assistance. Since May i, 1893, he has 
been associated with William G. Wallace in the well-known firm of 
Gary & Wallace. He has become a familiar figure ia the Gourts of 
Niagara Gounty, and is widely known as an able and trustworthy 
attorney. 

"Outside of his professional work Mr. Gary has been especially 
interested in politics. He was a member of the executive committee 
of the Ghautauqua Gounty Republican Gommittee in 1884. In the 
fall of that year he edited the poHtical columns of a Dunkirk news- 
paper. Since going to Niagara Falls he has been on the Republican 
Gity Gommittee several times, and in the important campaign of 1896 
he was chairman of that committee. He was one of the Alternate 
Delegates to the Republican National Gonvention at St. Louis in the 
same year. He has been a delegate to every Republican judiciary 
convention in his district for the last ten years, and was chairman of 
the convention in 1895. Notwithstanding his activity and import- 
ance in the counsels of the Republican party, he has never cared to 
hold public office. He has, however, been a member of the Niagara 
Falls Board of Fducation since March, 1896. 

"Mr. Gary has been somewhat active in the business life of 
Niagara Falls as well as in law and politics. He holds directorates 
in Power Gity Bank, and in the Bank of Niagara ; and acts as 
attorney for these institutions, and for the Bank of Suspension Bridge. 
He is a Trustee of the Niagara Gounty Savings Bank, and President 
of the Niagara Falls Memorial Hospital."

She was educated at Oberlin College. She graduated, Chautauqua 
Course, 1S82. Real estate dealer. 

From Spencer (Iowa) News, Feb. 8, 1894: 

"A biographical sketch of Mrs. E. B. Higley read at the Farmers' 
Institute last week. 

"It seems fitting that we turn aside, for a few moments, from the 
regular business of the day and give our attention for the intervals to 
a review of the life and works of one whom every person here must 
remember with deepest respect as well as with gratitude for the work 
done in this institution, especially in advancing the work of the 
special department now under discussion. 

"Miss Julia M. Clark was a native of Windham, Ohio. Born on 
a midsummer day when the world was at its loveliest, her infant eyes 
opened on a world of flowers and all her life she has held no task 
sweeter than the cultivation and study of these beautiful gifts from an 
all-wise and good Creator. She was educated at the academy of her 
native town and took the preparatory course of Oberlin College, but 
owing to financial reverses in her father's family she was compelled 
to give up her cherished dream of college life and bravely took up the 
task of teaching to assist in educating the young brothers and sisters, 
of which there were six, she being the eldest. 

"Always a close and thorough student, her studies did not end 
with her school days but have continued through all her useful and 
busy life. In later years she took up the Chautauqua work and com- 
pleted the four years' course of reading in 1882, just before removing 
to Iowa, but ever since the organization of a C. L. S*C. circle in 
Spencer she has been an active and useful member, and held a place 
of honor in the hearts of all her associates. 

"In 1853 she was married to Edward B. Higley, and for forty 
years she has shared all his joys and sorrows. She was always ready 
to give her influence in the cause of temperance. In the dark days 
of our republic when war and bloodshed were over the land, her

time, work and influence were given to aid tlie national cause, and 
being the possessor of a remarkably rich contralto voice she was the 
leading member of a musical club which gave from time to time 
excellent concerts for the purpose of raising funds to supply the neces- 
sary help to soldiers in field and hospital. She was a devoted Chris- 
tian and a member of the Congregational church at Windham, from 
which she took letters to the same church in this place. She first 
came to Spencer in 1882 but went to Mason City the following year 
and remained until 1886, since which time her home has been in 
Spencer. 

"Active in charities both in public and private, her hand was 
ready and quick to aid any one in distress. Practical in all things if 
she had work to do she gave it where the remuneration would supply 
the greatest need. 

"She gave her aid to every good cause for the advancement of 
her fellow beings intellectually, financially or socially, and was quick 
to see and advocate any measure to raise the standard of life in those 
around her. Many will remember the effort put forth some years 
ago for purchasing and beautifying a portion of land for a city park. 
Her efforts were not crowned with success as they deserved, but no 
doubt did some good as no good work is ever entirely lost. 

"With eyes to see and an intellect to appreciate the beautiful in 
nature and art her most enthusiastic work was given in the line of 
horticulture and floriculture. She spared no pains to make success- 
ful any movement for their advancement. She was a member of the 
Portage county horticultural society in Ohio, and did efficient service 
in that body for years before coming to Iowa. She has been a mem- 
ber of the State horticultural society of Iowa since 1884, and her 
name has been held in honor as one of the capable workers. Being 
a learned and skillful botanist she was at one time employed to make 
a sectional report of the flora of northwestern Iowa by the state 
organization. You all know what her work in this society has been. 
From its earliest organization she has been its most faithful advocate. 
With characteristic independence she attended the first session with 
no other woman to support her, and from that time until she was 
called away she has been on the most important committees in the 
society. 

"With all her services in public life she was a devoted wife, a

true home maker and a source of emulation to her many friends on 
account of her brilliant conversational and sweet womanly social 
qualities."

Appendix rv. 

ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 



FIRST GENERATION. 

18500. John Mack. 11800. He did not marry a second 
time. It is thought that this family dropped their original names, 
retaining the prefix only, thereby being better able to escape perse- 
cution on account of their religious belief. It is said that part of 
their coat-of-arms was a boar's head. The Scotch families of Mc- 
Dougal and McTavish have as parts of their coats-of-arms a boar's 
head erased. One branch of the family thinks that the original name 
was McDermon. He was the original and only early settler of that 
name in Conn, and the ancestor of all the early Macks of that state.

21050. Col. David Mack. (Elisha^, Josiah'', John'.) 13015. 
Prof. Edward Payson Smith in his Historical Discourse at the Mid- 
dlefield, Mass., Centennial Celebration, 1883, says of him: 

"After Deacon Mack for several years had on Sunday gone on 
foot six miles to Chester meeting-house, or, in the winter, with ox- 
sled had carried the members of his own and other families thither 
and back, a Sabbath day's journey indeed ; and after he had many 
times travelled down into the valley of the western branch of the 
Westfield River and out of it, climbing a series of hills to reach the 
place of town-meeting in Becket ; and after his neighbors in the south 
part of Peru, the northeast corner of Becket, the north of Chester, 
and the southwest corner of Worthington, had labored under similar 
difficulties and inconveniences in reaching their religious and business 
centres, it was natural that their thoughts should be directed to some 
more excellent way of satisfying their needs. In the midst of these 
people so seriously incommoded were some even more destitute of 
privileges than they. The residents upon Prescott's Grant had no 
political centre, for that Grant did not as yet form a part of any 
existing town. The necessities of the case, therefore, gave birth to 
the scheme of forming a new town, with Prescott's Grant as its 
nucleus, with such additions as the surrounding towns might give, 
and of securing its incorporation bv the authority of the General 



520 History of the Mack Family. 

Court. David Mack was the leader in the enterprise of organiza- 
tion. He undertook the work of a svirvey and of an appUcation to 
the Legislature, with the agreement to pay his own expenses if the 
project should fail. The plan was successful; and on the 12th of 
March, 1783, the act of incorporation was passed. 

"The same year (1773) is also given as the date when David 
Mack purchased his place. In 1774 he came to the town, cleared 
two acres, sowed them to wheat, and built a log cabin preparatory to 
bringing his family. While thus engaged, he boarded with Mr. 
Taylor, worked for him two days in the week for his board, and the 
other four days upon his own land. In 1775, he removed with his 
family from Hebron, Conn. 

"Foremost among the men of Middlefield stands David Mack, 
whose Christian character has been set forth in the tract 'The Faith- 
ful Steward,' and is fresh in the memories of many who hear my 
voice. I shall enter upon no eulogy of Deacon Mack. His record 
is before you, and it is beyond my power to add to or detract from 
it. His prominence in the first half century of the town's history was 
due to his business, his wealth, his religion, and, above all, to his 
native force of character. He could not, of course, have accom- 
plished what he did without the aid of others who were his peers in 
business talent, and perhaps his superiors in intelligence. Some 
things which did happen would never have occurred but for him. It 
was the Nemesis of his fate that some of his most strenuous efforts 
contributed to the success of enterprises he sought to stifle. He was 
undoubtedly more facile in conviction than in conciliation, but no 
sketch of Middlefield would be at all complete that should not assign 
him a conspicuous place. The man whose only property, on coming 
to Middlefield, was his farm, a poor horse, his axe, his wife and child, 
and who in his career as farmer and merchant amassed a fortune, 
and was, moreover, the cause that certain other men became wealthy, 
was a successful business man. He paid his debts promptly, and 
expected others to do the same. He showed his knowledge of the 
value of wealth by his use of it, and his great good sense by entirely 
settling his estate before his death. The man whose townsmen con- 
stantly elected him to offices of trust and honor was a public-spirited 
man. As has been said, he was the leader in organizing and incor- 
porating the town. He was not less active in securing preaching and 



Appendix IV. — Fourth Generation. 521 

schooling. These blessings he did not desire for others alone, but 
for himself as well. The man who in 1784 went to school with his 
own children and spelled in the same class with his six-)'ear-old son 
was a wise man, for he understood at least his own ignorance. This 
is an amount of knowledge some never attain. The man of but six 
weeks' schooling previous to his marriage, whose mind so expanded 
that he became the friend and patron of learning, who gave Mary 
Lyon $500 for Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary at a time when it was 
not generally conceded that women could and should be educated, 
that they would be more womanly, more everything desirable, if they 
had education, — this man was a man of progress. The man in 
whose barn, kitchen, and large chambers town and church meetings 
were held for several years ; who was constant in his attendance on 
worship, and sat for fifty-four years in the same pew in that meeting- 
house he had done so much to erect; who gave more than $18,000 
in large sums to benevolent enterprises, and as much more in smaller 
offerings ; who by his contributions made himself a life-member of 
twelve benevolent societies, and at one time gave $1,000 to foreign 
missions ; who left to the church and society he loved a fund of 
$3,000 for the support of the gospel in all coming time ; whose inter- 
est and zeal in the religious welfare of his children and children's 
children were constant and successful, — this man was surely a reli- 
gious man. 

"That he was patriotic, his conduct at the time of Shay's insur- 
rection shows. Middlefield's incorporation nearly coincided with the 
close of the Revolutionary War. The return of peace found the 
nation burdened with heavy taxation, industry paralyzed, and trade, 
in the absence of aught that could with justice be called a currency, 
even more depressed. l"he people of Western Massachusetts, writh- 
ing under the pressure of public and private debts for w^hich no 
means of payment existed, attributed to the government the evils 
from which they suffered, clamored for issues of paper monev, and 
sought to stay the courts from granting writs to which they could not 
respond. Middlefield's sympathy with these unfortunate debtors is 
evident from this language in a call for a town meeting in November, 
1786, to choose delegates to a county convention in Hadley for the 
following very necessary purposes : 'To choose a committee to confer 
with committees from other counties on the pressing distressful con- 



522 History of the Mack Family. 

dition of our public affairs. Secondly, to choose a committee to 
prepare a nervis petition to the Honorable General Assembly, with 
such justness, perspicuity, and suitable address as may not fail to be 
effective of our public relief.' 

"The grievances, though greatly magnified, were real. This 
conference and petition were entirely lawful. When, however, under 
the lead of Day and Shays, insurgent plans were formed, and the 
attempt made to disperse the courts and arrest the enforcement of 
legal process altogether, insurrection had begun. 

"In this state of affairs, a requisition was sent to Captain David 
Mack to appear with a certain number of his men at Springfield, and 
join the state forces. He drafted his men, gave orders for their 
appearance at his house the next morning, prepared to march. Dur- 
ing the night, the company appointed new officers, declared for Shays, 
and in the morning surrounded and entered Captain Mack's house, 
and declared him prisoner. The loyal captain clearly saw the peril 
of the step that had been taken. To his utmost, he exhorted his men 
to abandon their course of folly and treason. His plea was in vain. 
As a prisoner, he requested a furlough of three days, which was 
granted. At their request, he wrote the furlough ; and, having pro- 
cured the signatures of the newly appointed officers, among whom 
were Samuel Jones, Eliakim Wardwell, and Mr. Meacham, he put the 
document in his pocket, hastened to Springfield, at once reported 
himself to General Shepard, to whom he exhibited his furlough. 
After examining it. General Shepard said : 'Well, Captain Mack, as 
you have no men to fight with you, you may go home. We shall 
immediately attend to the men who have signed this paper.' At that 
exciting period, the house of Samuel Jones, now owned by George 
Bell, was the headquarters of the Shays men in this vicinity. There 
the Shays leaders were arrested, after Captain Mack's visit to Spring- 
field, and lodged in Northampton jail. In their distress, they humbly 
and earnestly besought Captain Mack to use his influence in securing 
their release. He magnanimously exerted himself in their behalf, 
and secured their pardon. 

"So great was the divergence in views that in November, 1787, 
the town chose Major David Mack, Lieutenant James Dickson and 
Ensign Matthew Smith as a committee to apply to the General Court 
for a committee to fix the place for the meeting-house."

mind and memory. Do make this my last will and testament in man- 
ner following, that is to say. First that all my just debts and funeral

Woodruff, now also deceased, she my said wife keeping the said 
real estate in good tenantable repair. Provided always that if it 
shall be absolutely necessary in order to discharge my just debts as

or the majority of them may think proper and select for that purpose 
at public vendue or otherwise, and a good and sufficient title to give 
for the same to the purchaser or purchasers thereof and to appropri- 
ate the whole or so much of the proceeds thereof as shall be necessary 
to the discharge of such debts as aforesaid, and to put the residue of 
such proceeds (if any there be) out at interest on Bond and Mortgage 
in their names as my executors, which interest shall be received by 
my said wife Elizabeth for the purposes aforesaid. And further that 
in case my brother, Ebenezer Mack, should become unable to main- 
tain and provide for himself then my said wife shall afford him a 
comfortable support out of the Rents and profits of said Estate. And 
my will, further is that in case of the death or remarriage of my said 
wife Elizabeth, my said Estate is to remain under the management 
and care of my executors for the purpose of maintaining, educating 
and supporting my children and of supporting my brother Ebenezer 
Mack as aforementioned, until my youngest child Caroline shall have 
attained the age of eighteen years when I order and direct my said 
executors, or the survivors or survivor of them, as soon as convenient 
and a price to his or her satisfaction can be obtained to sell and dis- 
pose of each and every part of the residue of my said Real Estate at 
Public vendue or otherwise, and a good and sufficient conveyance to 
give for the same to the purchaser or purchasers thereof and to 
divide, dispose of and retain the proceeds thereof in manner follow- 
ing, and to and among the following persons to whom the same is 
hereby bequeathed forever. That is to say. My son Robert and my 
daughters Lucinda, Susan, Charlotte and Caroline, to each of my 
said children, one-sixth part of the net proceeds of my said Estate. 
And the other sixth part thereof I hereby devise and bequeath to 
the aforementioned children of my said deceased daughter Sarah 
(named as follows) to-wit: Elvina and Charles Farrington to be 
equally divided, share and share alike, between the said children of 
the said Sarah, as soon as they shall respectively attain the age of 
Twenty-one years or be married, and I do hereby order and direct 
the survivors or survivor of my Executors hereinafter named, to 
retain in their, his or her hands the said sixth part of the said net 
proceeds of my said Estate which 1 have hereinbefore devised and

and safe opportunity can be obtained of putting out the same or any 
part thereof on Interest on Bonds and Mortgage which I do hereby 
authorize and require my said executors or the survivors or survivor 
of them to do and the Interest monies arising from the monies so put 
out as the same shall come into the hand of my said executors shall 
and may be applied and expended in the maintenance, education and 
support ot the said children of said Sarah. Provided always never- 
theless and my will is that in case my daughter Susan, Charlotte or 
Caroline shali be married, my wife Elizabeth shall give each of themi 
so married a good decent outfit which I leave to her own judgment

clare that the receipt of any or either of my own children before 
named, or of any or either of the children of said Sarah, notwith- 
standing coverture or the receipt of any or either of their husbands

said Sarah should happen to die without lawful issue, before he or 
she shall have attained the age of twenty-one years or be married,

And in case of the death of either of my said' children or grandchil- 
dren, leaving lawful issue such issue shall take the part or share of 
mv said Estate which his, her or their parent so dying would have 
taken if he or she the said parent or parents had survived, share and 
share alike. And lastly, I do hereby nominate and constitute and ap- 
point my said wife Elizabeth and my said daughter Susan, my said son 
Robert and my daughters, Charlotte and Caroline, to be the executors

of Isaac Hale of Harmony, Pa.). Founder of the Church of Jesus 
Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon). Appleton's American Cyclo- 
pedia says of him : 

"Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon church, or church of 
Latter Day Saints, born at Sharon, Vt., Dec. 23, 1805, died at 
Carthage, 111., June 27, 1844. His parents, of Scotch descent, early

removed to Palmyra, N. Y. Joseph's education was very defective. 
With the aid of Sidney Rigdon he brought forth the 'Book of Mor- 
mon' which he claimed to have discovered under angelic guidance, 
written on plates and hidden in the earth : and on this he founded 
and organized his church in Manchester, N. Y., April 6, 1831. In 
183 1 he went with his disciples to Kirtland, Ohio, and erected a 
costly but very singular temple. He removed in 1838 to Far West, 
Mo., and there his disciples gathered. They soon removed to Han- 
cock County, 111., where they built a city called Nauvoo, and con- 
structed another costly temple. Here Smith combined in his own 
person the chief military, municipal and ecclesiastical offices, 

'According to his own account. Smith at about the age of 15, 
while living with his father, who was a farmer in Ontario (now 
Wayne) Co., N. Y., began to have visions. On the night of Sept. 21, 
1823, the angel Moroni appeared to him three times, informing 
him that God had a work for him to do, and that a record written 
upon gold plates, and giving an account of the ancient inhabitants of 
America and the dealings of God with them, was deposited in a par- 
ticular place in the earth (a hill in Manchester, Ontario Co., N. Y.), 
and, with the record, two transparent stones in silver bows like spec- 
tacles, which were anciently called the Urim and Thummim, on 
looking through which the golden plates would become intelligible. 
On Sept. 22, 1827, the angel of the Lord placed in Smith's hands the 
plates and the Urim and Thummim. The plates were nearly 8 in. 
long by 7 in. wide, and a little thinner than ordinary tin, and were 
bound together by three rings running through the whole. Altogether 
they were about 6 in. thick, and were neatly engraved on each side 
with hieroglyphics in a language called the reformed Egyptian, not 
then known on the earth. From these plates Smith, sitting behind a 
blanket hung across the room to keep the sacred records from profane 
eyes, read off, with the aid of the stone spectacles, the 'Book of 
Mormon,' or Golden Bible as he sometimes called it, to Oliver Cow- 
dery, who wrote it down as Smith read it. It was printed in 1830, in 
a volume of several hundred pages. Appended to it was a statement 
signed by Oliver Cowdery, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris, who 
had become professed believers in Smith's supernatural pretensions, 
and are called by the Mormons 'the three witnesses'. They said : 
'We declare with words of soberness that an angel of God came down 



532 History of the Mack Family. 

from heaven, and he brought and laid before our eyes that we beheld 
and saw the plates and the engravings thereon.' 

"Smith and Rigdon seem at first to have had vague and con- 
fused ideas as to the nature and design of the church they were about 
to establish. They were both inclined to teach millenarianism, which 
at that time was beginning to attract attention in western New York ; 
and they accordingly settled into the doctrine that the millennium 
was close at hand, that the Indians were to be speedily converted, 
and that America was to be the final gathering place of the saints, 
who were to assemble at New Zion or New Jerusalem, somewhere in 
the interior of the continent. With the 'Book of Mormon' as their 
text and authority, they began to preach this new gospel ; and Smith's 
family and a few of his associates, together with some of Rigdon's 
previous followers, were soon numerous enough to constitute the 
Mormon church, as it was styled by the people around them, or the 
church of Latter Day Saints, as they presently began to call them- 
selves. The church was first regularly organized at Manchester, 
N. Y., April 6, 1830, and the first conference was held at Fayette, 
N. Y., in June, at which time the number of believers had increased 
to 30. Smith, directed as he said by revelation, in January, 183 1, 
led the whole body of believers to Kirtland, Ohio, which was to be 
the seat of the New Jerusalem. Here converts were rapidly made, 
and soon, desiring a wider field for the growth of the church. Smith 
and Rigdon travelled westward, looking for a suitable location, which 
was found in Independence, Jackson Co., Mo., where in August 
Smith dedicated a site for the temple to be erected by the saints, and 
named the place New Jerusalem. On their return to Kirtland, where 
they proposed to remain for five years 'and make money,' Smith and 
Rigdon established a mill and a store, and set up a bank without a 
charter, of which Smith appointed himself president, and made Rig- 
don cashier. 

"About a year afterward a government for the church was insti- 
tuted, consisting of three presidents. Smith, Rigdon and Frederick G. 
Williams, who together were styled the first presidency, a revelation 
from the Lord having declared that the sins of Rigdon and Williams 
were forgiven, 'and that they were henceforth to be accounted as 
equal with Joseph Smith, Jr., in holding the keys of his last kingdom.' 

"The Mormons were kindly received in Illinois, and Dr. Isaac

Galland, who owned a large tract of land at Commerce, in Hancock 
Co., gave Smith a considerable portion of it in order to enhance the 
value of the rest by the settlement of the Mormons there. Smith 
accordingly received a revelation commanding the saints to establish 
themselves at Commerce, and build a city to be called Nauvoo on the 
land presented to him, which he divided into house lots and sold to 
his followers at high prices. By this transaction, and by other 
equally successful speculations, the prophet in a few years amassed 
a considerable fortune. Nauvoo soon grew to be a city of several 
thousand inhabitants, the saints being summoned by a new revelation 
to assemble there from all quarters of the world, and to build a tem- 
ple for the Lord, and a hotel in which Smith and his family should 
'have place from generation to generation, forever and ever'. The 
legislature of Illinois granted a charter for the city of Nauvoo, con- 
ferring upon it extraordinary privileges, which enabled Smith, Rigdon 
and the other leaders to exercise almost unlimited civil power. They 
were authorized by charter to organize a military body, which was 
accordingly formed under the name of the Nauvoo legion, and com- 
prised nearly all the Mormons capable of bearing arms. Smith was 
commander of this force with the rank of lieutenant general. Be- 
sides this office, he held those of mayor of the city and first president 
of the church. By a revelation given April 6, 1830, he had been 
appointed 'seer, translator, prophet, apostle of Jesus Christ, and elder 
of the church ;' and the Lord had said to him : 'The church shall 
give heed to all his words and commandments which he shall give 
unto you ; for his word shall ye receive as if from my own mouth, in 
all patience and faith.' The civil and military offices which he con- 
ferred upon himself at Nauvoo and the legion at his command gave 
him supreme power within the city, whose charter had been purposely 
so framed that the state authorities were almost excluded "from juris- 
diction within its limits. On April 6, 1841, the foundation of the 
temple was laid at Nauvoo, by Lieut. Gen. Smith, who appeared at 
the head of the legion, surrounded by a numerous military staff; and 
the saints being commanded by revelation not only to contribute to 
its erection, but to labor personally upon the work every tenth day, 
its walls rapidly arose.

of the political schemes of Brigham Young and the leaders of the

church in Utah. Joseph Smith, the son of the prophet, is regarded 
by them as the true living head of the church, and under his direction 
they have estabhshed themselves at Nauvoo. Their number is 
inconsiderable." 

The National Cyclopedia of Biography says of him : 

"Joseph Smith has been conceded one of the most remarkable 
figures of the nineteenth century. Starting in life without education 
or worldly advantage, he became a recognized leader of thousands of 
enthusiastic converts, who passionately shared his conviction that he 
was a veritable prophet of God. Of magnificent physique and com- 
manding presence, he was eminently fitted for this role, and, on the 
whole, it must be confessed, maintained it with dignity. For strength 
and perfection the hierarchy :founded upon his teachings is confessed 
as at least equal to that of Catholicism."

23500. Joseph Smith. 22100. (Descendant of Robert Smith 
of New Hampshire, 1631.) The National Cyclopedia of Biography 
says of him : 

"Joseph Smith, Mormon prophet, was born at Sharon, Vt., Dec. 
23, 1805, son of Joseph and Lucy (Mack) Smith. In 1815 his 
parents removed to Palmyra, N. Y., where they resided for about four 
years, then settling in the town of Manchester. Joseph worked as a 
farm hand, could merely read and • write, and had a very limited 
knowledge of arithmetic. These were his highest and only attain- 
ments. In the spring of 1820, in the midst of a religious revival, in 



552 History of the Mack Family. 

which four of the family joined the Presbyterian church, his attention 
was seriously drawn to the subject of religion and the future state, 
and his mind, perplexed by the conflicting claims of the various sects, 
sought a solution in the Scriptures. He was particularly impressed 
with the text, 'If any lack wisdom, let him ask of God,' and following 
the admonition, he later announced that he had had a vision while 
praying in the woods. Two glorious personages had appeared, who 
informed him that his sins were forgiven ; also that all religious 
denominations believed incorrect doctrines. He was expressly com- 
manded not to go after them, but was told that at a future day the true 
doctrine, the fulness of the Gospel, should be made known to him. He 
further stated that on the night of Sept. 21, 1823, when he had retired 
to rest, a light like that of day, only of a purer and far more glorious 
appearance, burst into the room. In a moment a personage appeared 
before him, his countenance like lightning, and renewed the assur- 
ances, and further indicated that the covenant which God made with 
ancient Israel was at hand to be fulfilled, and that he was to be a 
chosen instrument in God's hands to bring about some of his marvel- 
ous purposes. The American Indians, he was told, were a remnant 
of Israel, whose sacred records had been taken away from them by 
command of God, and safely deposited for preservation. These con- 
tained many revelations pertaining to the Gospel of the Kingdom, 
and prophecies, relating to the last day. Before morning the vision 
was twice renewed, and further instructions were given by the visitant. 
During the four following years he frequently had instructions from 
the heavenly messenger, and on Sept. 22, 1827, the angel delivered 
the sacred records into his hands. They were engraved on plates 
which had the appearance of gold. Each plate was not far from 
seven by eight inches in measurement, and not quite as thick as com- 
mon tin. They were filled on both sides with engravings in some 
unknown characters, since declared to be a 'revision of Egyptian 
hieroglyphics,' and were bound together as a book, fastened at one 
edge with three rings. The volume was about six inches in thick- 
ness, a part of which was sealed. The characters or letters upon the 
unsealed part were small and beautifully engraved. The whole book 
exhibited many marks of antiquity in its construction, as well as 
much skill in the art of engraving. With the records was found the 
urim and thummim, two transparent stones, let into the two rims of a 



Appendix IV. — Fifth Generation. 553 

bow. By this the ancients received, it was said, their revelations. 
The noise of Smith's visions and rumors of his discoveries had gone 
abroad, and on his return homewards, after the receipt of the records, 
he was attacked by two ruffians, but beat them off, and reached his 
dwelUng. Shortly after, being in danger of his life from his neigh- 
bors, he departed from New York for Pennsylvania, putting the 
sacred plates into a barrel of beans in his wagon. Having provided 
himself with a home in the new region, Smith proceeded to the trans- 
lation of the plates, as he tells us, 'by the gift and power of God, 
through the means of urim and thummim'. He did not look upon 
the plates directly, but through urim and thummim, and from behind 
a curtain. The unsealed portion, being completed, made the 'Book 
of Mormon,' with nearly as much reading in it as in the Old Testa- 
ment. It purports to be a compilation from numerous records by a 
prophet named Mormon of a history of ancient America, from its 
earliest settlement by a colony who came from the tower of Babel, at 
the confusion of languages, down to the beginning of the fifteenth 
century of the Christian era. The original colonv, having been 
utterly annihilated, was followed by another, which came from Jerusa- 
lem during the captivity of Jedediah, King of Judah. To all this, 
Oliver Cowdrey, David Whitmer, and Martin Harris, Smith's associ- 
ates and earliest converts, attested when the translation was finished. 
In the year 1829, Smith and Cowdrey, who now craved baptism, 
were ordained priests of the order of Aaron by a holy messenger, who 
announced himself as John the Baptist, and who commanded them to 
baptize each other. The order of apostleship was subsequently 
restored, it is reported, by visits from Peter, James and John. The 
next year a large edition of the 'Book of Mormon' was printed, and 
some adherents to its author and its doctrines being found, on April 
6, 1830, the 'Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' was organ- 
ized at Fayette, N. Y. The prophet's ideas seem to have been, at 
this time, vague and confused as to his church, and 'numerous reve- 
lations were required to shape the church as it was finally established'. 
The church at Fayette began to gather disciples. On June i, 1830, 
at a conference in that town, thirty members were present. Mission- 
aries were now set apart and every member was utilized ; and among 
these were Brigham Young, the two brothers Pratt and Sidney Rig- 
don, a converted Campbellite preacher. Churches were formed in 



554 History of the Mack Family, 

Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and even in Indiana and Illinois. 
Then came persecution, and the Saints looked out for a permanent 
home. Kirtland, Ohio, being selected for their first headquarters, 
Smith advised his disciples to gather there, and pray for a revelation 
from the Lord, 'as to the place where the New Jerusalem should be 
built,' and 'where the Saints should eventually be gathered in one'. 
The prophet's eyes turned westward for this heavenly city. In the 
fall of 1 83 1 a revelation was made known that it was to be located in 
Jackson County, in Missouri. Soon 1,200 people had gathered in 
that place. Land was bought, a printing press established, and a 
monthly and a weekly newspaper published. In 1838 unsuccessful 
financial speculations obliged Smith to withdraw from Ohio, but long 
before this the Missouri settlement had encountered serious opposi- 
tion. Societies had been organized to expel them from the region ; 
their printing plant had been seized, their ministers tarred and 
feathered, and other outrages had been inflicted on them. Smith 
himself was dragged from his bed one night in Hiram, Ohio, and, 
after being tarred and feathered and otherwise outraged, was left for 
dead. In 1833 the Saints were compelled to fly across the Missouri 
river to the open wilderness on a winter's night. Subsequently they 
settled in Clay County, Missouri. Smith reached his persecuted 
followers with the utmost expedition, having, in February, 1834, when 
he heard of their distresses, assumed, by revelation, in addition to his 
previous functions, the role of 'military leader of the people'. The 
band with which he reached the borders of Missouri numbered 205, 
but the citizens of that state intercepted his cohort, and sadly defeated 
them in their schemes. The prophet returned to Kirtland, Ohio, 
then the headquarters of the church, and forthwith determined on a 
more thorough organization of his disciples. He, therefore, instituted 
the hierarchial order, to which the Mormons have since owed, in 
large measure, their success and perpetuity. Keeping his own 
superiority as 'president,' he selected a 'high council' of twelve men, 
and delegated them his 'apostles' to go 'into all nations, kindreds, 
tongues and people, and preach the gospel of the new covenant'. 
They departed into the eastern states, and in 1837 to England, where 
the first conference of converts was held at Preston, Lancashire, Dec, 
25th of that year. Everywhere the church gained new adherents, 
and the year 1837 was an auspicious one for them, although they lost

the confidence of the Ohio people (gentiles) by some mismanagement 
of mercantile affairs. The spread of their doctrines, and the reach 
of their organization in England and elsewhere, more than compen- 
sated for all else. In 1838 Kirtland was abandoned, and repairing 
to Missouri, in obedience to a new revelation, Smith declared he 
would yet trample on the necks of his enemies, and the citizens of 
that state saw reason to fear his growing strength. A band (the 
Danites) had been secretly formed to defend him in any extremity 
and by any means necessary. Quarrelling and fighting between 
Saints and gentiles was constant, and the interference of state author- 
ity was invoked by the latter. The militia was called out, and, after 
much loss and suffering, especially at a place called Haun's Mill, 
where many of them were massacred, the Saints were driven in the 
depth of winter, across the Mississippi river, and into Illinois. The 
prophet, with his brother, Hyrum, and other leading Mormons, were 
seized and sentenced by court-martial to be shot, without opportunity 
for defense, but Brig. Gen. Doniphan, recognizing the injustice of the 
proceeding, refused to carry out the command. Smith and his asso- 
ciates were subsequently released, and by April, 1839, the Saints had 
all escaped to Illinois, where, mustering 15,000 strong, they were 
given a grant of land on the east bank of the Mississippi, forty miles 
above Quincy, and twenty miles below Burlington, Iowa. There 
they established their new home on a bend of the river upon rising 
ground, with a noble view of the river for many miles. The city 
which they founded was called Nauvoo, or the 'City of Beauty'. The 
foundations of its first house were laid in 1839, ^'^^ ^^ two years more 
than 2,000 dwellings, with school houses and public edifices were 
erected. The Illinois legislature gave a charter to Nauvoo, a body 
of Mormon militia was formed, under the leadership of the prophet, 
and he assumed such civil office as gave him entire control of the 
place. On April 6, 1841, at the head of his 'military legion,' he laid 
the corner-stone of a grand temple, being spoken of in the newspapers 
in his military capacity alone. He shortly found himself absolute 
ruler over 20,000 persons, his revelations being multiplied as the 
occasion seemed to demand. In 1841, and again in 1842, attempts 
were made to arrest Smith and return him to the jurisdiction of 
Missouri, but on both occasions the courts decided that this could 
not be done. In 1844 he offered himself as a candidate for President

of the United States, but was widely attacked by the newspapers. 
When, in 1843, he announced the revelation of 'celestial marriage,' 
authorizing the practice of polygamy, certain malcontents established 
the 'Expositor', an opposition paper, and printed in its first number 
the affidavit of sixteen women, who alleged that Smith, Young, Rig- 
don and others had invited them to enter into a secret and illicit 
connection, under the title of 'spiritual marriage'. Smith at once put 
down the paper by physical force, and its proprietors fleeing to 
Carthage, 111., sued out a writ against him and his brother, Hyrum, 
as the abettors of a riot. The Mormons at Nauvoo resisted its ser- 
vice, and the state militia was called out by the governor of Illinois. 
The two Smiths, then surrendering themselves, were imprisoned at 
Carthage. After a time it was rumored that the governor had ac- 
knowledged that as there was no case against them, they would 
speedily be released. This precipitated the denouement, and on June 
27, 1844, the prophet and his brother were shot to death by some of 
a party of 200 men, who had taken the law into their own hands."

The National Cyclopedia of American Biography says of him : 

"Joseph Fielding Smith, second counselor in the presidency of 
the Mormon church was born at Far West, Caldwell County, Missouri, 
Nov. 13, 1838, son of Hyrum and Mary (Fielding) Smith. His 
mother, with her infant son, were driven from home in the winter 
following his birth, while her husband, with Joseph Smith and others, 
was held in prison on account of his religion. In the Mormon exodus 
from Nauvoo he drove an ox-team most of the way from the Missis- 
sippi to the Missouri river, and reached winter quarters in the fall of 
1846. In the summer of 1848 he crossed the great plains to Salt 
Lake, where he followed the occupation of a herd boy until 1854, 
working occasionally in the harvest field and in the mountains haul- 
ing wood. In April, 1854, he was called on a mission to the Sand- 
wich Islands, and during a residence of nearly three years and a ha t 
he was president of Mani, Kohala, Hilo and Molaki conferences and, 
although so young, one of the most active men in the party. NMthm

six weeks after his arrival he was able to preach and pray and 
administer the Gospel ordinances in the native language, displaying 
in his study unusual aptitude and a wholesome devotion to duty as a 
missionary. On his return to Salt Lake City he at once enlisted in 
the legion to defend the people from the expected attack of the 
Federal army, and until peace was proclaimed was almost constantly 
in the saddle between Salt Lake and Fort Bridges. During the 
winter of 1858-9 he was sergeant-at-arms of the territorial legislature. 
On March 20, 1858, he was ordained to one of the seventies, and on 
Oct. 1 6th, a high priest, being also appointed a member of the high 
council. He was called on a mission to Great Britain in April, i860, 
and proceeded to New York by way of Nauvoo, where he visited 
some of his kindred, and arrived in Liverpool July 27th. He presided 
over the Leeds, Sheffield, Hull and Lincolnshire conferences, and in 
the fall of 1862 he visited Denmark and afterward went to Paris. In 
March, 1864, he started on another mission to the Sandwich Islands 
being there placed in charge of the mission, and visited all the islands 
with a view of establishing permanent headquarters. After his return 
he was engaged in the church historians' office, and also in home 
missionary work. He was elected a member of the city council of 
Salt Lake City, and of the territorial legislature and on July i, 1866, 
was ordained an apostle by Pres. Young, and appointed to fill a 
vacancy in the council of the twelve, Oct. 8, 1867. In 1868 he 
removed to Provo, Utah Co., where he served on the city council one 
term, but later, returning to Salt Lake City he resumed his work in 
the historians' office. In February, 1874, he started on a second 
mission to Great Britain, and as director of all the branches of the 
church in Europe, he visited Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland and 
France. In the spring of 1877 he was again sent to preside over the 
European mission, and after attending the dedication of the temple 
at St. George, he took his departure for Liverpool, where he arrived 
May 27, 1877. Pres. Young's death occasioned his recall, and sail- 
ing from Liverpool he reached Salt Lake City on Sept. 27th. He 
went on a brief mission to the eastern states, in company with Elder 
Orson Pratt, and after his return in October was placed in charge of 
the endowment house, continuing to manage its aiTairs until the sum- 
mer of 1884 when it was closed. In October, 1880, when John 
Taylor succeeded to the presidency, Elder Smith was chosen his 



Appendix IV. — Sixth Generation. 563 

second counsellor. He was elected a member and president of the 
council of the Utah legislature for the session of 1882, and in the 
same year was president of the Utah Constitutional Convention. 
After the death of President Taylor, Elder Smith resumed his posi- 
tion in the council of twelve apostles, but on April 7, 1889, when 
Wilford WoodrufT succeeded to the presidency, he was chosen as his 
second counsellor. Pres. Smith is regarded with much affection and 
entire confidence by the Mormon people and the church authorities, 
and is considered one of the most stalwart defenders of the faith. 
His public addresses are characterized by extraordinary vigor and 
fervor, and he is looked upon as a tower of strength in all the affairs 
and councils of the Mormon church."

several generations the family had lived, and his mother was the 
daughter of Joab Houghton of New Jersey, who was active in the 
War of the Revolution. The son attended the College of New Jer- 
sey, 1797-9, and after teaching school he removed to Philadelphia, 
Pa., where he became an instructor in an academy. A natural talent 
for acting led him to adopt that profession. He made his first 
appearance in July, 1805, at the Chestnut Street theatre, Philadelphia, 
as Achmet in 'Mahomet'. At that time he was almost the only 
American on the stage, and he attained great popularity, playing 
principally in Philadelphia. His intense dislike for stage life induced 
him to seek other employment. He obtained a position as clerk in 
the office of the Baltimore American in 181 2 and in 18 13 purchased 
an interest in the Whig. He was then enabled to leave the stage 
and for some months published with success the Whig. He was 
married in 1810 to Sally Wallace of Philadelphia. In 18 14 he moved 
to Washington, I). C, where he occupied a government position. He 
was licensed a Baptist minister and in iS 15-16 was Chaplain of the 
House of Representatives. He preached at Alexandria, 1817-24 
and in New York City from 1824 until his death. His granddaugh- 
ter Kate Claxton, daughter of Spencer W. Cone, became a well- 
known actress. He died Aug. 28, 1855."

6oo History of the Mack Family. 

"Marshfield, January 2, 1896. 

"Sir : — I received a letter from you last eve, with a request to 
inform you of the dates and traditions of the Macks. I have no 
record of dates. Will give you what information I can according to 
my recollection of what I learned from my parents, Richard Kendrick 
and Polly (Mack) Kendrick, and grandparents, Nehemiah Mack and 
Caroline (Niles) Mack. The Macks came from Connecticut ; I think 
from the town of Lyme. There were four brothers ; their names 
were David Mack, Benjamin Mack. John Mack and Nehemiah Mack. 
My mother, Polly Mack, and Sally Mack were sisters, daughters of 
Nehemiah Mack and Caroline (Niles) Mack. Sally became the second 
wife of George Ayres. My grandparents, Nehemiah Mack and 
Caroline (Niles) Mack, came from Conn, soon after the War of the 
Revolution, to Woodstock, Vermont. The brothers all followed or 
preceded him to Woodstock, Vt. My grandfather, Nehemiah Mack, 
served nine months in the War of the Revolution. I do not remem- 
ber of hearing of his brothers being in the service but it is quite 
probable some of them were. I knew your grandparents ; also 
remember some of their children, Laura, Daniel A., which was the 
Rev. D. A. Mack, and another son I think was named George. Your 
grandfather, Daniel Miner Mack, was the son of David Mack, my 
grandfather, Nehemiah Mack's, brother, whose wife's name was Sarah 
Rogers. They also had a son Samuel Mack. The family, all but 
your grandfather, Daniel Miner Mack, left Plainfield, Vt., when I was 
quite young; I do not recollect but little about them. Grandfather, 
Nehemiah Mack's, other brothers lived and died in Woodstock, Vt. 

"I will give you the names and address of two cousins which it 
is possible can help you to dates and perhaps other items : Henry R. 
Mack, Hardwick, Vt., and Miss Mary M. Mack. 16 Key St., Ames- 
bury, Mass. 

"Sir, please excuse this document, written by one that has passed 
her 80th milestone. I should be pleased to learn of your success. 

"Respectfully, Harriet Willis." 

"January 17, 1896. 

"Dear Sir: — Your letter of Jan. 6th was received the nth. I 
was glad to receive it and thank you for it and the information you 
gave. It opened to my memory more plain your grandfather's family. 



Appendix IV. — Sixth Generation. 6oi 

especially your dear mother, Cordelia Rebecca Mack, and her 

brother, Rufus Simonds Mack; when quite young think they lived 

a few years with some of their relatives or friends in Plainfield. I 

do not know the maiden names of the wives of any of the four 

brothers Mack, except my grandmother's which was Niles, Caroline 

Niles. Benjamin's wife's given name was Abigail. David Mack's 

wife's name was Sarah. John Mack's wife's name I do not recollect. 

Grandmother, Caroline (Niles) Mack, was born Oct. 14, 1760; died 

Oct. 16, 1839. My grandparents, Nehemiah Mack and Caroline 

Niles, I think were married about the year 1780 in Conn.; came to 

Woodstock, Vt., soon after; in 1795 o^ ^79^ moved to Plainfield, Vt., 

then a wild wilderness, with a family of six children, four sons and 

two daughters. Will give their names according to birth : Elisha 

Mack, Polly Mack, who was my mother, William Mack, Zebulon 

Mack, Nehemiah Mack and Sally Mack, then a babe ; they also had 

two sons born in Plainfield, Enos Mack and John Mack. All married 

but Enos ; he lived and died single. 

"The Macks were a people of steady habits, strictly honest and 
religious. My grandparents, Nehemiah Mack and Caroline (Niles) 
Mack were converted and united with the Congregational church in 
Lyme, 1 think, Conn, Their pastor's name I think was Rev. Daniel 
Miner. I write this from my best recollection as I received it from 
grandmother, Caroline (Niles) Mack. 

"January 28, 1896. 

"Grandfather, Nehemiah Mack, died Jan. 3, 1828, aged 74 years. 
Perhaps your mother will recollect my father's family. My father's 
name was Richard Kendrick. If able I will later write some more 
items and incidents which may be of interest to you. I would be 
glad to hear from you when you receive this. 

"Respectfully, "Harriet Willis. 

"P. S. Grandmother has been quite poorly since she began this 

and she wished me to finish it for her. 

"May L. Heath." 

"Plainfield, Vt., May 5, 1896. 

"Dear Sir : — My last letter to you which 1 think was written in 
January was not able to finish. As my health by the blessing of God 
is improved, I will write a few more items. Grandfather, Nehemiah 



6o2 History of the Mack Family. 

Mack, was deacon in the first church organized in Plainfield, beloved 
by his church and respected by all good people ; the reading of the 
word of God and prayer daily ascended from the family altar ; and 
being dead he yet speaketh. When he came to Plainfield there were 
but very few families in town. He made his pitch in the center of 
the town, although then the end of the road and one mile and a half 
from a neighbor. 

"The third winter after moving to Plainfield my mother, Polly 
Mack's, parents, Nehemiah Mack and Caroline (Niles) Mack, with 
their youngest child, Sally Mack, who became the second wife of 
Edgar V. Wilson's mother's grandfather George Ayers, went to Wood- 
stock to visit relatives. They rode on a sled drawn by oxen. A 
great contrast from that and the present speed of travel and comfort. 
It took four weeks for the journey and visit. My mother, Polly 
Mack, at the time was fourteen. She was left in charge of the home 
with three brothers younger than herself. Elisha Mack the oldest 
brother being from home. 

"My mother's brother, Nehemiah Mack, died at Saratoga Springs 
where he went for his health in 1821, leaving a wife and three small 
children. My mother's brother, John Mack, the youngest of the 
family, married Irena Wilson, daughter of Daniel Wilson of Plain- 
field. They had four children. Only one is living, a daughter not 
married. She has a nice home at Dery Depot, N. H., that her father 
left at his death. Not able to live alone she rents her place and 
boards in Henry Wilson's family, a cousin living in Amesbury, Mass. 
Name Mary M. Mack. I gave you her address in a former letter I 
think. 

"You thought the record of my father, Richard Kendrick's, 
family, also that of my family, might be of some use in writing a his- 
tory of the Mack family. My father, Richard Kendrick, was born in 
Hanover, N. H., in 1780 ; his father died when he was seven years ; 
he then went to Bethel, Vt., lived with an uncle. When fourteen he 
came with his uncle to reside in Plainfield, Vt. My mother, Polly 
Mack, born 1 783, Woodstock, Vt. My parents were married in 1808. 
Had nine children, four sons and five daughters; three sons and two 
daughters died in infancy. My brother, the oldest of our family, 
married; settled in Maine; he died in 1854, I think. My oldest 
sister married Joseph Scott ; they had three children, all have fami- 



Appendix IV. — Sixth Generation. 603 

lies. Sister Scott and husband died in 1882 ; both died in the same 
year. My other sister, Caroline M. Kendrick, died in 1881 : not 
married. 

"I come now to speak of my family, My husband, Asa Willis, 
and myself were married 1844; we had three children, daughters; 
Martha C, Mary A. and Hattie P. Martha married Gardner L. 
Heath, of Plainfield. He died in 1883, leaving her with two small 
children, May L. and Harley VV. Heath. Mary A. Willis married F. 
B. Cahill, with whom is my home. Hattie P. Willis, the youngest, 
married Edwin Bond ; had two children ; only one living. I live on 
the farm my husband bought before our marriage. He died in 
March, i860. All my children are hving near. 

"I come now to speak of your. Edgar \'. Wilson's, mother's 
grandfather, George Ayers, and give some few items which I heard 
from him ; his father followed the sea ; died at sea when he, uncle, 
was a little lad. After his father's death he lived with an uncle seven 
years ; he said in that time the sun never rose on him in bed. He 
was of a mild even temper, kind husband and father and neighbor, 
deacon of the Congregational church many years, had a taste for 
reading and a great memory ; I would give the date of my uncle and 
aunt Ayers' birth and death, if able to visit the cemetery where they 
rest ; it is some seven miles away. Did not Rev. Daniel A. Mack 
establish a home for orphans in Winchendon, Mass? Will you please 
to inform respecting it ? Remember me to your mother, as we are 
related in two wavs. Pardon all errors in this lengthy writing. Will 
you inform me if you received letter No. 2 from me ? Also your 
success in the undertaking ? Excuse pencil writing ; my hand is not 
steady. With respect, 

"Harriet Willis."

stage name is "Kate Claxton". Appleton's Cyclopedia of 
American Biography says of her : ''Kate Claxton, actress, b. in 
New York City in 184S. She first appeared with Lotta in 
Chicago, soon afterwards became a member of Daly's Fifth 
Avenue Company, and then of the Union Square Company, but 
attracted no attention till the production of 'Led Astray' in 1873, 
in which she won great popularity as Mathilde. Soon after- 
wards she made a reputation in the character of Louise in 'The 
Two Orphans,' with which she has become identified. She 
played it first at the Union Square Theatre, and was acting the 
part at the Brooklyn Theatre when that building was destroyed 
by fire Dec. 5, 1876. She became widely known for her coolness 
on that occasion, and by her eflforts to calm the audience and 
prevent the rush for the doors, in which so many were killed. 
Soon afterwards Miss Claxton was in the Southern Hotel in St. 
Louis when it burned, and again displayed great coolness and 
energy, saving her own and her brother's life, and escaping by 
a burning stairway, that fell just after her foot had left the last 
step. After this many superstitious people, regarding her as 
specially unlucky, avoided the theatres where she played. She 
has more recently played in Charles Reade's 'Double Marriage' 
and in the 'Sea of Ice'. Miss Claxton married Isidor Lyon, a 
New York merchant, V)ut was subsequently divorced, and in 
1876 married Charles Stevenson, a member of her company."

36890. Rev. Thomas Lamb Eliot, D.D. The History of the 
First Unitarian Church, by Rev. Earl Morse Wilbur, says : 

"Thomas Lamb Eliot, pastor of the First Unitarian Church of 
Portland for the twenty-five years from its organization, was born in 
St. Louis, Missouri, October 13, 1841. He is the eldest son of Rev. 
William Greenleaf Eliot, D.D., LL.D., and Abigail Adams Eliot, and 
comes from a family in the various branches of which there have 
been many ministers. His father was the pastor of the Church of 
the Messiah (Unitarian) in St. Louis, from which he resigned in 
187 I, after a pastorate of nearly forty years, that he might devote his 
whole time to the duties which he had already long performed as 
Chancellor of Washington University, in St. Louis, of which he had 
been one of the founders. He was not only one of the leaders in the 
Unitarian denomination, but a man of great influence in the develop- 
ment of the city of St. Louis, an inspirer of its educational and philan- 
thropic interests no less than pastor of one of its oldest and largest 
churches. 

"Mr. Eliot received his preparatory and collegiate education at 
Washington University, from which he graduated in its first class in 
1862, and from which he also received the degree of Master of Arts 
in 1865. His studies were interrupted midway of the course by fail- 
ing eyesight ; and in the hope of receiving benefit he undertook, in 
i860, a voyage in a sailing vessel around Cape Horn to China. He 
experienced no improvement from the trip, however, and after a few 
weeks in California returned home from there, to continue his studies 
with eyesight so impaired that for months, while in college and 
Divinity School, he had to have his books read to him. After grad- 
uating from college, he was engaged for two years in the ministry-at- 
large in St. Louis, in charge of the mission house connected with his 
father's church, doing much work in its large Sunday school, and 
among the poor. During the same period he spent a part of his time 
as tutor in Latin and Greek in Washington University. In the early 
part of this period, also, he enlisted in the First Missouri Volunteers, 



662 History of the Mack Family. 

was mustered in, and was in active service for some months, though 
never called out of the State. 

"Even before entering college he had resolved to enter the 
Christian ministry, and though, on account of his weakened eyesight, 
he was discouraged from this purpose by all except Dr. Eliot, his 
father, he adhered to it, and after graduating from college studied 
more or less under his father's direction. In further pursuance of 
his purpose he went, in the fall of 1864, to the Harvard Divinity 
School, where he completed the course the next year, having done 
two years' work in one. Among his fellow-students there were Joseph 
May, now of Philadelphia ; S. C. Beach, of Bangor, Maine ; James 
Vila Blake, of Chicago ; W. E. Copeland, of Salem, Oregon ; H. G. 
Spaulding, of Newton, Mass.; and Charles C. Salter, since deceased. 
Having left the Divinity School in the summer of 1865, he supplied 
the pulpit of Rev. John H. Heywood, in Louisville, Ky., for several 
weeks, and then returned to St. Louis, where he was elected associate 
pastor of his father's church. He was ordained there November 19, 
1865. Rev. C. A. Staples, of Milwaukee, Wis., preached the sermon 
from the text, 'Who is sufficient for these things ?' Rev. Dr. Eliot 
offered the ordaining prayer and gave the charge ; and Rev. A. D. 
Mayo of Cincinnati, Ohio, gave the right hand of fellowship. 

"He was married Nov. 28, 1865, to Henrietta Robins Mack, who 
has ever since shared with him the labors and honors of his work, 
and the love of the people to whom he has ministered. Soon after 
his marriage he spent several weeks in New Orleans, where he sup- 
plied the pulpit of the Unitarian church, as also again for two months 
in the spring of 1867. He retained his connection as associate pas- 
tor of the St. Louis church, however, until November, 1867, when he 
resigned to accept a call to the church then just organized in Port- 
land, Oregon, with which he has ever since been connected. At 
about the same time he had received a formal call from the New 
Orleans church, and the very mail which brought him the call to the 
church in Portland, Oregon, also brought him a letter (practically 
equivalent to a call) inviting him to preach for six months in Port- 
land, Maine, in the pulpit left vacant by the coming of Rev. Horatio 
Stebbins to SanFrancisco. It was not difficult for him to make the 
choice. Ever since his visit to the Pacific Coast, he had hoped that 
Portland, Oregon, might be the field of his life work. Starr King 



Appendix V. — Sixth Generation. 663 

had said to him then, 'The Pacific Coast claims every man who has 
ever seen it,' and had pointed to Oregon and Washington Territory 
as the 'coming country' of Northwest America. The impression 
which he then received of the great opportunities for work which the 
Pacific Coast offered, he had never lost, and this determined him to 
accept the call to the western Portland. There would seem to have 
been almost a special providence in the events which finally led, 
though through devious ways, to the coming together of the newly 
formed church and its pastor, as there has surely been a continuous 
providence in the twenty-five years of uninterrupted harmony which 
has marked their relations with each other. 

"Mr. Eliot, with his wife and infant son, left St. Louis in Novem- 
ber, 1867, and came to Portland by way of New York and Panama. 
They arrived at their destination early on Tuesday morning, Decem- 
ber 24, after a journey of forty days and forty nights, having rested 
for a few days with Rev. Mr. Stebbins in San Francisco. Mr. Eliot 
was at that time quite youthful in appearance, and was known for 
some years as 'the boy preacher'. But in the severe labor and bitter 
opposition that he and his church had to encounter during the next 
few years, he showed that he possessed the full powers of a man. 

"His life, since the day of his arrival, is written on the history of 
the Portland church, which has constantly prospered and grown under 
his ministry. To his own character and influence is due very much 
of the influence and standing that his church has gained in the com- 
munity. His work has never been narrowly confined to his particular 
parish or to his denomination. He has done more or less missionary 
preaching at various places in the Pacific Northwest, in which his 
church was for the most of the time during twenty years the solitary 
pioneer of Liberal Christianity. 

"Besides strictly religious interests, he inherited from his father, 
and has bequeathed to his church, an earnest devotion to philan- 
thropic and educational work of every kind. He has been the 
inspirer of several of Portland's most prominent institutions of philan- 
thropy, and an earnest worker in behalf of almost all of them. His 
connection with the Children's Home, the Boys' and Girls' Aid 
Society of Oregon, and the Oregon Humane Society, of which he has 
been President for ten years, deserves especial mention. He ren- 
dered important service in securing for Oregon legislation establish-

ing a State Board of Charities and Corrections, the first of its kind 
on the Pacific Coast. He seemed for many years ahnost the only 
person in Oregon enough interested in the reform of its disgraceful 
jails to do any active work for them. He has always been an earnest 
supporter of the temperance movement, and of Woman's Suffrage. 
After the great fire in Portland, on August 2, 1873, he was appointed 
one of the committee of five to distribute the citizens' fund of relief, 
and served in that capacity for several months. Being put forward 
by both political parties, he held the office of Superintendent of 
Schools in Multnomah County for two terms, from 1872 to 1875, ^'"''^ 
did much to bring order out of chaos in the public school system. 
For one who has never enjoyed robust health, the amount of work he 
has performed in his church, and outside of it, is remarkable. Ill 
health has thrice compelled him to leave his parish, once for more 
than a year, but the resignations which he tendered were not accepted. 

"Dr. Eliot is an easy and polished speaker. He has little liking 
for religious controversy, but rather has a strong feeling of the essen- 
tial unity of the Church Universal. He has been accustomed in his 
preaching to dwell most upon the positive virtues of Christian char- 
acter, and has striven to develop the deepest religious life in his 
hearers. Churches and ministers who are farthest removed from his 
theology, respect and love him as a man. He has several times been 
invited to preach baccalaureate or other sermons in colleges under 
the control of Evangelical churches, and has been frequently offered 
exchanges by ministers of other denominations. 

"Personally, he is scholarly in his tastes, and of a poetic tem- 
perament. He is uniformly courteous and kind to both friends and 
strangers, and though of a somewhat modest and retiring disposition, 
he never hesitates to assert his convictions when there is occasion to 
do so in any cause of humanity, good morals or pure government. 
During his long residence in Portland he has won the love of all 
people, and to no minister in the city are the poor, the outcast or the 
unchurched so likely to go for the offices of a minister, or for comfort 
or personal counsel, as to him. He has a wide reputation and influence 
throughout the Pacific Northwest among men of all ranks and classes, 
the weight of which has more than once been felt in legislative halls, 
in behalf of philanthropy and good government. 

"In 1889, Harvard University, recognizing Mr. Eliot's long and 



Appendix V. — Sixth Generation. 665 

valuable work in the Northwest, honored him with the degree of 
Doctor of Divinity, which was conferred (an unusual distinction) in 
his absence. 

"Dr. Eliot's family life has been singularly blessed. Of eight 
children, seven are living. The eldest is Rev. William G. Eliot, Jr., 
pastor of the Unitarian Church in Seattle, Washington. 

"Having completed the honorable term of twenty-five years as 
pastor of one church, Dr. Eliot resigned his pastorate in January, 
1893, desiring on account of uncertain health, to be free from the 
heavy obligations it imposed. lie has been elected Pastor Emeritus, 
however, and purposes still to remain with the church, devoting to it 
as much of his time and strength as may seem desirable, while he 
will also feel more free to engage in philanthropic work, of which 
so much still remains to be done, and in which he feels so deep an 
interest."

Appendix VII. — Eighth Generation. 691 

"Herbert H. Smith, ex-'7i, well known as an entomologist, whose 
collection of books relating to South America was purchased a few 
years ago by the University, has just returned to this country from the 
United States of Colombia. Mr. Smith during his recent trip suf- 
fered all sorts of hardships, including starvation, small-pox exposure, 
and a South American revolution. 

"It reports that the present revolution interfered greatly with his 
work. It collected, however, 235 cases which he sent to the Carne- 
gie museum of Pittsburg, for which institution he took the trip and 
where he will resume work. Mr. Smith states that his taste for 
tropical wandering has been entirely satiated. This may be doubted 
as Mr. Smith got his liking for this work on the famous Hart expedi- 
tion which went to Brazil in the early years of the University."

"General John E. Mulford, who for a long time has been desirous 
of being relieved from the presidency and the active management of 
the Elmira & Seneca Lake railway, says the Free Press, has finally 
succeeded, his Philadelphia partners having reluctantly consented to 
his wishes. At a recent meeting his successor was elected and he 
was made vice-president and director. The general never had a 
desire to assume the active duties devolved in the management of the 
road. He was bound to build it, and build it he did. After this was 
accomplished he wished to resign, but those interested with him 



Appendix IX. — Fourth Generation. 709 

would not listen to it. However, his health made it imperative. His 
many friends are pleased to see him take the much needed rest. It 
was a long pull and a hard pull, but the general was equal to the 
occasion. He expects to leave for a sojourn in Florida shortly, in 
company with Mrs. Mulford."

"Men of New York" says of him : 

"Norman E. Mack, editor and proprietor of the Buffalo Times, 
and widely known in western New York from his prominence in 
political life, was born in West Williams, Ontario, in 1856. His 
family left Canada when he was still a child, and took up their resi- 
dence in Pontiac, Mich., in 1868. There Mr. Mack became a clerk 
in a business house. Both the mercantile knowledge and disciplinary 
training thus obtained were of great value in his important business 
undertakings later in life. After remaining in Pontiac four years, he 
availed himself of the greater opportunities of a large city by embark- 
ing in the advertising business in Detroit and Chicago. This was 
his first experience in newspaper work, and gave him an insight into 
a most important part of the publishing business. 

"In 1874 Mr. Mack established himself in Buffalo. He had 
then been engaged in the advertising business two years and was 
well acquainted with many branches of the difficult subject. He 
continued, therefore, for several years to conduct various advertising 
enterprises in Buffalo. Many of these ventures had to do with the 
press, and gave him considerable experience in actual newspaper 
making, and by the year 1878 he felt able to enter the journalistic 
world as a publisher. Establishing the Chautauqua Lake Gazette, 
accordingly, at Jamestown, N. Y., he conducted the enterprise with 
fair success for some months; but in 1879 ^^ received a favorable 
offer for the paper, and disposed of the property. 



Appendix XII.

''In September of the same year Mr. Mack began his long career 
in Buffalo journalism by founding the Sunday Times. For a while 
the printing was done outside the office, and not until 1881 was the 
first press purchased for the new paper; while the first number of 
the Daily Times was issued Dec. 13, 1883. Since the latter date the 
paper has made marked progress in both circulation and advertising 
patronage. In 1886 additional space became necessary for dispatch- 
ing the enlarged volume of business ; and the Times building was 
secured and occupied. In June, 1887, a Hoe perfecting press was 
placed in operation ; in 1892 another Hoe press, a counterpart of the 
first, was installed, and in 1895 a Goss 'three-decker' was added to 
the plant. In 1893 ten Mergenthaler lineotype machines were set up. 
in the composing room, superceding the old system of setting type by 
hand. 

"Until 1884 the Times was independent in politics, but in the 
presidential campaign of that year it came out strongly for Cleve- 
land, and has ever since supported the regular Democratic nominees. 
Mr. Mack has been very active in political affairs personally as Well 
as journalistically, and has had an important part in the counsels of 
the Democratic leaders. He has been a delegate to various local 
and state conventions. He was one of the alternates to the Demo- 
cratic National Convention of 1892, and was the New York member 
of the notification committee in that year. He represented his con- 
gressional district on the Democratic State Committee for two terms, 
declining a third term. He was a delegate to the Democratic 
National Convention of 1896, and was a member of the state com- 
mittee in the presidential campaign of that year. He supported Mr. 
Bryan vigorously, and enjoyed his confidence in a high degree. Mr. 
Mack, indeed, was probably the most prominent advocate of the 
'regular' Democracy in western New York, and thereby acquired 
great favor with those who believed in that cause. 

"Mr. Mack is a member of the Buffalo, the Ellicott and the 
Press Clubs, of the Orpheus and Liedertafel singing societies, and of 
other social organizations. 

"He married, Dec. 22, 1891, Harriet B. Taggart of Buffalo."

family to Scotland. The family with which I am connected 
descended from Alexander Mack, who came from Germany and 
was the founder of the Dunkards. You can find this by referring 
to the head of Dunkards in Encycloinedia Britannica. His son 
• was Wm. Mack. His son, that is the son of Wm. Mack, was 
Alexander Mack, who died in this county in the '50's. The 
son of the last Alexander Mack was David Mack, my father, 
who died recently. If this famih' has any connection with 
what you are looking up and it will be of any service to you I 
can, by reference to an old family Bible, not here but which I 
can get at, give you more information. Yours respectfully, 
D. E. Mack."

62600. Col. Theunis Dev. (Dirck', Theunis^ Dirck'.) 62201. 
He was born in 1725 (o. 1726), near Preakness, N. J. Colonel of 
the Bergen County Regiment, 1776. He built some years before 
the Uey house at Preakness, N. J., which house was for three months 
during 1780, the headquarters of Gen. Washington. He married, in 
1 75 1, Hester Schuyler (daughter of Philip Schuyler and Hester 
Kingsland [daughter of Hon. Isaac Kingsland, member of the Coun- 
cil, and Elizabeth Kingsland, of New Barbadoes Neck, N. J.], son of 
Arent Schuyler and Johanna Schuyler or Swan VanDuykhusen or 
Maria Schuyler, son of Philip Pieterse Schuyler, born 1628, the first 
of the name in this country, who married, Dec. 12, 1650, Margaret, 
daughter of Herr Brandt Arent VanSchlectenhorst, of Nieuvv Kerk 
in Gelderland.) She was born April 12, 17^2^. Records at Trenton, 
N. J., say: Theunis Dey, (heir-at-law of Dirck Dey, deceased, of 
Bergen County), gives deed Nov. 19, 1770, to Peter Romer and 
others, trustees of the Low Dutch Reformed Church at Pompton. 
Witness. Ester Dey, Junior. Charter Trustee of Rutgers College." 
His will is dated Nov. 30, 1786; proved July 30, 1787. It is on 
record in the office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, N. J. 
Colonel, Bergen County, New Jersey Militia, February 28, 1776; 
served to close of war; member of New Jersey Assembly, 1777-84; 
Member of Bergen County Committee of Correspondence during the 
Revolutionary War. 

The New York Times, Illustrated Magazine, for Aug. 6, 1899, 
contained the following account of the Dey House, Washington's 
headquarters : 

"About two miles from the bustling, modern town of Paterson, 



74^ History of the Dey Family. 

N. J., stands a house, which during the year 1780 was for three 
months the headquarters of Gen. Washington. It is beautifully 
situated in the midst of an undulating plain, bounded by the Preak- 
ness Mountain, the Passaic River, and First Mountain. Through 
the clefts in the hill lovely vistas of the far-reaching mountains may 
be seen. 

"During the month of July, 1780, the American Army was en- 
camped along the Totowa Heights near the Great Falls of the Passaic 
River. The camp extended for nearly seven miles from Wagraw on 
the left wing to Singack or Lower Preakness on the right. The 
advanced guard was below the Passaic and some miles from the 
headquarters. The grand parade ground was near the falls on the 
spot over which the Second Ward of the City of Paterson has been 
built. Among the officers who were with the army in camp were 
Lafayette, St. Clair, Lord Stirling, Knox and Lee. The house in 
which Lafaj'ette had his headquarters was the residence of Samuel 
VanSaun, and was about one mile from the Uey House. When 
Lafayette revisited America in 1824-5 ^e passed the camp and saw 
that his soldiers had put up a board sign to designate the spot which 
had been his headquarters. For many years the remains of this 
camp could still be seen. The ovens which the soldiers had built for 
their baking were visible as late as forty years ago. Mr. William 
Nelson, writing in The Magazine of American History, mentions a 
tradition to the effect that Washington erected a look-out on the 
summit of a peak, from which he could obtain a clear view of the 
country for twenty miles, including New York, Newark, Elizabeth- 
town, Haverstraw and Hackensack. Still another tradition asserts 
that he had ordered great masses of stone to be piled up on this hill 
to be rolled down upon the enemy if they attempted to force a way 
up the gap. 

"The house used by Gen. Washington for headquarters belonged 
to Col. Theunis Dey of Saddle River. It is two stories in height 
with a gambrel roof, and is about 52 feet long and 30 broad. The 
front is of brick and brown sandstone. The sides and rear are of 
rubble-work, trimmed with brick. The walls are laid in yellow clay 
pointed with mortar, and even today are in perfect condition. All 
the timbers are of oak, of immense size and strength, and all fastened 
together by huge wooden pins. A large hall 12 feet wide runs 



Fourth Generation. 749 

through the middle of the building. On each side of this there are 
two rooms with fire-places faced with brown sandstone in each. The 
ceilings are 10 feet high, but in the second story they are only 8 feet. 
Our chief source of information as to what part of the dwelling was 
occupied by Gen. Washington, is the account left by a French noble- 
man, the Marquis de Chastellux, who visited the General while at 
Preakness. The Marquis traveled extensively in the United States 
during the years 1780-82, and published his recollections of his 
journeys some years later. (Voyages de M. Le Marquis de Chastel- 
lux dans I'Ame'rique Septentrionale dans les Anne'es 1780, 1781, et 
1782. Paris, 1786.) In November, 1780, he arrived at Preakness 
and soon after met Gen. Washington. 

"It may be of interest to reproduce here his narrative of his re- 
ception by Washington and of what he saw while a guest at head- 
quarters. C)n arriving at the house he recognized it as headquarters 
by 'a large tent in front and many carriages drawn up around'. He 
continues thus : 'M. de la Fayette was conversing in the courtyard 
with a large man of 5 feet 9 inches, of a pleasant and noble figure ; 
it was the General himself. 1 had soon dismounted and was close to 
liim. The compliments were short; the sentiment which animated 
me and the good will which he exhibited were not equivocal. He 
led me into the house, where I found some people still at table, 
although dinner had long been finished. He presented me to Gens. 
Knox, Wayne, Howe, &c., and to his 'family,' composed then of Cols. 
Hamilton and Tilghman, his secretary and aides de camp, and Major 
Gibbs, Commandant of his Guards ; because in England and America 
the aides de camp, adjutants, and other officers attached to the Gen- 
eral form what is called his family. A new dinner was brought to us 
and the former one was prolonged to keep me company. A few 
glasses of claret and Madeira quickened the acquaintances which I 
had to make, and I soon found myself at ease near the greatest and 
best of men. The goodness and kindness which characterize him 
are to be perceived in everything which surrounds him ; but the con- 
fidence which he gives is never familiar, because the sentiment which 
he inspires has in all individuals the same origin— a pcofound esteem 
for his virtues and a high opinion of his talents. About 9 o'clock in 
the evening the general ofl[icers retired and went to their quarters, 
which were all far away; but as the General had wished'that I should 



750 History of the Dey Family. 

stay with him, I remained some time longer, after which he conducted 
me to a chamber, which formed a quarter of the lodging that he 
occupied. He made excuses on the little space of which he could 
dispose, but always with a noble politeness which was neither annoy- 
ing nor complimentary. 

" 'The next morning at 9 o'clock I was told that his Excellency 
had entered the parlor ; this room served both for audience chamber 
and dining room, (for Washington only ; the staff" dined in the large 
hall). While we were breakfasting Gen. Washington ordered his 
horses to be brought up and the army to prepare for a parade.' After 
that they returned to headquarters for dinner. 'The repast was 
served in the English fashion, with eight or ten large dishes of meat 
and game, accompanied by several kinds of vegetables, and followed 
by a second course of pastry, comprised under the name of 'Pyes & 
Powding'. After these were served apples and many nuts, which the 
General usually eats for two hours, (in the words of the Marquis 
himself), tout en tostant et en faisant la conversation'. At 8 o'clock 
in the evening supper was served. In fact, it seems as if much of 
Washington's time must have been spent in eating. This meal con- 
sisted of 'three or four light dishes, some fruit and a great abundance 
of nuts, which were no worse received in the evening than in the 
morning.' " 

"According to de Chastellux, Washington occupied four rooms 
in the Dey house. It is said that he had them papered at his own 
expense, and that the paper then put on remained until about twenty 
years ago. 

"Col. Theunis Dey, the owner of the house, was the descendant 
of an old Dutch family of New York. In the records of the Reformed 
Dutch Church in New Amsterdam under the date of Dec. 28, 1641, 
is the marriage of 'Dirck Janszen, van Amsterdam en Jannetje Theu- 
nis'. Their son Theunis was baptized Sept. 24, 1656. In 1685 he 
married Anneke Schouten. He owned a farm of five and a half | 
acres, 309 feet front on Broadway and 800 feet deep to the Hudson! 
River, the farm being now intersected by Dey Street. His son was 
Dirck, who was 'of the County of Bergen,' and who bought in 17 17 a] 
tract of 600 acres in Singack Brook (near Preakness). 

"His son Theunis was the proprietor of the house which he hadj 
probably built some years before. He was Colonel of the Bergen 



Fourth Generation. ' 751 

County Regiment in 1776, his son Richard (Dirck) Dey being Major 
in the same regiment. This Richard later became Sheriff of Bergen 
County and Major General of militia. In 1801 he sold the home- 
stead, with 355 acres of land, for ;if3,ooo. Richard's son Anthony 
was one of the founders of Jersey City, and was for many years a 
prominent citizen of that place. The name of Dey has now disap- 
peared from Preakness except for a solitary inscription on a crumbling 
stone in the family burying ground back of the house, which states 
that 'Mere lies buried the body of Ann Dey, daughter of Theunis Dey 
and Hester Dey. She died Jan. 7, 1774, in the eighteenth year of 
her age'. 

"The wife of Col. Theunis Dey was Hester Schuyler, daughter 
of Philip Schuyler and Hester Kingsland. This Philip Schuyler was 
the eldest son of Arent, son of Philip Pieterse Schuyler, the first of 
the name in this country. 

"The large estate of the Deys at Preakness has been slowly 
reduced in size during the last hundred years, and hardly anything is 
left of the wide acres of field and wood which the family originally 
held. But the old house still stands in as good condition as when it 
was built, and is pointed to with pride by the antiquarians of the 
neighborhood as the house which was for months Washington's 
headquarters. 

"Montgomery Schuyler, Jr." 

The Magazine of American History for August, 1879, contains 
the following account of the same house : 

"During the first three weeks of July, 1780, Washington had his 
headquarters at Preakness, New Jersey, lodging at the house of 
Colonel Theunis Dey. The main body of the army was encamped 
along the Totowa Heights, near the Great Falls of the Passaic river. 
Colonel Moyland's Pennsylvania Dragoons occupying an advanced 
position at the Little Falls, on the opposite side of the river, while 
the Marquis de la Fayette had his headquarters at the residence of 
Samuel VanSaun, near Sandford's race track, and about a mile from 
the Dey house. 

"From October 9 until November 27, 1780, the army was again 
encamped at Totowa, evidently on the same site as during the pre- 
ceding July ; but as there was a greater array of troops at this time, 



752 History of the Dey Family. 

they covered a more extended area. Lafayette now held the left, his 
Light Infantry corps, formed in August, with Major Lee's Virginia 
Troop of Light Horse, occupying a small elevation on the extreme 
east, along the eastern bank of the GofiBe stream, where it fiows into 
the Passaic river, not far from the present suburb of Paterson, 
known as Hawthorne. He had his headquarters near the Ryerson 
homestead, Mr. Richard Degray's barn now occupying almost the 
precise site. On his left stretched a fine plain, for a mile, to the 
Wagraw neighborhood. When he revisited the United States in 
1824-5, he passed through this locality and was amused to see that 
some of his former soldiers had remembered the old camp, and had 
put up a rough board sign to designate it, on the Goffle brook. 

"The main army was encamped on a broad plateau stretching 
from the Passaic river perhaps half a mile, to the base of the Preak- 
ness mountain, and at an elevation of from fifty to one hundred and 
fifty feet above the river, so that it was admirably situated for de- 
fence. Several ample fields afforded fine opportunities for exercising 
the troops in military evolutions. The Grand Parade ground was 
near the Falls, the spot being now built over by the second ward of 
the city of Paterson, then undreamed of. The army was stretched 
along the base of the Preakness hills for a distance of six or seven 
miles, from Wagraw on the left wing to Lower Preakness, or Singack, 
as it is generally called, on the right. The advanced guard, consist- 
ing of Moyland's Dragoons and Major Parr's Rifle Corps, were sta- 
tioned south of the Passaic river, the former near the Little Falls, to 
protect the approach from Newark and Elizabethtown from the west 
side of the First Mountain, as well as the road through the Great 
Notch, while the Rifle Corps occupied a broad ravine northeast of the 
Notch, in a position to command it, and also to patrol the roads lead- 
ing into it from Acquackanonk and Newark. Although Major Parr's 
corps held this post less than two weeks, being then removed a mile 
or two further west, where he could protect the Cranetown Gap and 
the Notch at the same time, his former position is to this day known 
by the people in the neighborhood as 'The Rifle Camp'. Thirty or 
forty years ago, the remains were still plainly visible of the ovens 
built by the riflemen for their meagre baking. It is said that Wash- 
ington caused a lookout to be erected on the summit of the peak on 
the east side of the Notch, whence he could obtain a clear view of 



Fourth Generation. y53 

the whole country for twenty miles or more, including New York, 
Newark, Elizabethtown, Haverstraw, Hackensack, etc. Tradition 
also asserts that he caused great masses of stones to be piled up. on 
this hill, to be rolled down upon any troops that might undertake to 
force a passage through the gap. 

"The General doubtless had pleasant recollections of his first 
stay at the Dey mansion, and therefore occupied it in October and 
November, when the army was again in the vicinity. It certainly 
was not at all convenient to the army ; so remote, indeed, that he felt 
constrained to relieve the officers of the day from attending at head- 
quarters 'when there was nothing more than common to report'. 
General Knox, with his artillery, may have been within a mile or two 
of headquarters ; the main body of the army was at least three or 
four miles distant, while Lafayette was seven or eight miles from 
Washington ; Moyland's Dragoons and Parr's Riflemen were from 
two to four miles to the southwest. It is a common tradition in the 
neighborhood, and one borne out by contemporaneous records, that 
Washington had reason at this time to anticipate attempts to efl^ect 
his capture ; consequently, there was excellent cause for his keeping 
himself out of the reach of possible raids by Simcoe's daring cavalry, 
or any other party that might seek to secure his person. His selec- 
tion of camp ground and headquarters was well calculated to prevent 
surprise. The First Mountain formed a natural defence for his 
army; the Passaic river another; back of that arose a steep bluff, 
surmounted by the plateau already mentioned ; then came the Preak- 
ness hill ; over this range, in one of the most beautiful valleys, stood 
the dwelling of Colonel Dey. Charming vistas extended for many 
miles through the openings in the mountains in almost every direc- 
tion, and the plain was traversed by roads leading to Newark, Eliza- 
bethtown, Springfield, Middletown and Southern New Jersey ; to 
Totowa, Acquackanonk and Hackensack on the southeast, and Para- 
mus, Pompton and Ringwood toward the northeast. 

"A century ago, tlie building must have been one of the finest in 
New Jersey, for it is yet remarkable for its architectural symmetry 
and the artistic finish of the masonry. It is about one hundred yards 
from the main road, facing south ; it is two stories in height, with a 
double pitch roof, through which a recent owner has pierced some 
.vindows, giving it the appearance of a mansard. The building is 



754 History of the Dey Family. 

about fifty-two feet long, and about thirty feet deep. The front is of 
brick, the doorway and windows trimmed with polished brown sand- 
stone, squared and set in the most accurate manner ; the sides and 
rear are of rubble work, the windows and doors trimmed with brick, 
the sides above the eaves being carried up in brick. All the masonry 
is laid up in yellow clay, pointed on the outside with mortar, yet the 
walls are perfectly firm, and are apparently good for another hundred 
years. The timbers, where exposed, in the cellar and attic, are of 
hewn oak, of the most massive description, and all morticed and 
pinned with wooden pins. Through the centre, from south to north, 
runs a hall, twelve feet wide, on either side of which are two rooms, 
a fireplace faced with rubbed brown sandstone in each. The ceilings 
on the first floor are about nine feet, and on the second floor eight 
feet high. Nearly all the rooms are decorated with quaint old wooden 
cornices, grooved in a peculiar manner. According to the Marquis 
de Chastellux, Washington occupied four of the rooms — probably two 
on each floor. Tradition has mainly preserved reminiscences of one 
room — in the southeast corner of the first floor ; this is pointed out 
as 'Washington's room'. It was his audience chamber and dining 
room ; the family dined in the great hall. The space above the fire- 
place in the General's ofiice is ornamented with elaborate paneling 
and grooved woodwork, to correspond with the cornices. The walls, 
Washington is said to have had papered at his own expense, and the 
paper was not removed until about ten years ago. The account 
given by de Chastellux of his stay at this house in November, 1780, 
is one of the most entertaining passages in his exceedingly interesting 
'Travels,' and the glimpse it gives of Washington at the table is 
charming. 

"So far as is known, the British never attempted to molest the 
American troops at Totowa but once. Then a party of the Conti- 
nentals who had been on a foray toward Acquackanonk, were chased 
by Hessians. They retreated successfully across the Totowa bridge, 
which they destroyed. The British followed, and in their eager haste 
attempted to wade through the river, here quite shallow, the officers 
mounted on the backs of the privates I A few volleys from the 
Americans on the opposite Heights checked their ardor, and they 
hastily retired. 

"A few words may not be out of place regarding the Dey family. 



Fourth Generation. 755 

In the records of the Reformed Dutch Church of New York we find 
the marriage on December 28, 1641, of 'Dirck Janszen, j. m. Van 
Amsterd, en Jannetje Theunis, j. d. als Voren'. The bachelor and 
spinster were both from Amsterdam. According to the Dutch cus- 
tom, their first son was named Jan, after his paternal grandfather, 
and the second, baptized September 24, 1656, received the name of 
his maternal grandfather, Teunis. Among the same records we find, 
January i6, 1685, 'Teiinis Deij, j. M., Van N. Yorck, en Anneken 
Schouten, j. d. als boven, beijde wonende alhier'. Teunis owned a 
farm of five and a half acres, 309 feet front on Broadway, and 800 
feet deep to the Hudson River, the farm being now intersected by 
Dey street. He had a son Dirck, baptized in New York March 27, 
1687. In 1717 (October 9), Dirrick Dey, 'of the County of Bergen 
in the Province of East New Jersey, yeoman,' bought for £120 of the 
heirs of Thomas Hart, one of the original Twelve Proprietors of East 
Jersey, a tract of land on the 'Singhack Brook,' containing 600 acres, 
'besides ten in the hundred allowance for Barrens and highways'. In 
1730, 'Dirick Dey of Pachgannick, yeoman," for ;^5o bought of Peter 
Sonmans a triangular plot of 200 acres in the same neighborhood. 
He left a son Theunis, who probably erected the dwelling which Wash- 
ington made his headquarters. He was a Colonel of the Bergen 
County Regiment of Militia in the early part of 1776, his son Richard 
(Derrick) being Captain in the same regiment, and afterwards Major. 
Theunis was in the New Jersey Assembly in 1776, and in 1779, 1780 
and I 781 represented Bergen County in the Council, returning to the 
Assembly in 1783. In 1780, Mrs. Colonel (Theunis) Dey and Mrs. 
Major (Richard) Dey were appointed on the Committee of Bergen 
County Ladies to raise funds for the relief of the American troops. 
Soon after the war, Richard Dey was Sheriff of Bergen County, 
County Collector, General of Militia, and held other oflfices. In 1801 
he sold his homestead, with 355 acres of land, to Garret Neafie and 
John Neafie, of New York City, for £3,000. The Deys have utterly 
disappeared from Preakness for nearly three-quarters of a century, 
and the very name of this once wealthy and powerful family is scarcely 
remembered in the region they once controlled. A son of Richard, 
Anthony Dey, was one of the founders of Jersey City, and for many 
years wielded great influence there. Others of the family removed 
early in the present century to Onondaga County, N. Y. Their once

proud estate at Singack has passed through many hands during the 
last seventy years, and now the homestead, sadly shorn of its princely 
area, is owned by Dr. John M. Howe, of Passaic, N. J., but is only 
occupied by his farmer, more than half the house being vacant. 

"William Nelson." 

The same magazine for Sept., 1879, contains the following letter : 

"The Dey house was built by Dirck Dey, father of Col. Theunis, 
in 1720. The children of Col. Theunis were all born there as well as 
those of his eldest son, Richard Dey, my grandfather, Anthony Dey, 
being his eldest child and recording the fact in the family Bible. At 
the death of Richard Dey, in 181 1, his widow and family, with the 
exception of his eldest son, my grandfather. Anthony Dey, who re- 
sided in this city, removed to Seneca Co. — not Onondaga as Wm. 
Nelson says (Mag. HI., 495) in his sketch of headquarters.

for the Erie Canal. President of the Society of the Cincinnati over 
thirty years. President of the American Bible Society at the time of 
his death. He died July 30, 1831, at Jersey City, N. J. He was 
one of the three founders of Jersey City. 

Lossing's Field Book of the Revolution, says of him : 

"Richard Varick was born at Hackensack, N. J., March 25, 
1753; died in Jersey City, July 30, 1831. He was a lawyer in the 
City of New York when the war for independence began, and he 
entered the service as Captain in McDougall's Regiment. Soon 
afterwards he became General Schuyler's military secretary, and re- 
mained so until that officer was superceded by Gates in the summer 
of 1777. continuing with the army, with the rank of Colonel, until 
the capture of Burgoyne. Varick was Inspector-General at West 
Point until after Arnold's treason, when he became a member of 
Washington's military family, acting as his recording secretary, until 
near the close of the Revolution. When ihe British evacuated the 
City of New York (Nov. 25, 1783), Colonel Varick was made Re- 
corder there, and held the office until 1789, when he became Attorney 
General of the state. Afterwards he was elected Mayor of New 
York, and held that office until 1801. He and Samuel Jones were 
appointed (1786) to revise the laws of the State of New York, and in 
1787 he was speaker of the Assembly. Colonel Varick was one of 
the founders of the American Bible Society. In person he was over 
six feet in height, and of imposing presence." 

John Schuyler's History of the Society of the Cincinnati in New 
York, says of him : 

"At the time of his birth his parents were living at Hackensack, 
N. J. When the Revolution broke out, he having been practicing 
his profession, the law, in New York City, joined the army in 1775, 
and was appointed a Captain in the ist New York Continental Infan- 
try, under Colonel McDougall. On the loth of April, 1777, being at 
that time the Military Secretary of Gen. Schuyler, Congress conferred 
upon him the position of Deputy Muster-Master General of the 
Northern Department, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and he 
was on duty organizing and keeping up the quotas as far as possible 
to their full standard, and preparing the requirements necessary to

impede the advance of Gen. John Burgoyne, who had already made 
such a formidable entrance to the state by way of Lake Champlain. 
He was present at his final total defeat and surrender at Gen. Schuy- 
ler's headquarters at the confluence of the Fish-Creek and the Hud- 
son, near where the aqueduct of the Champlain Canal now stands. 
In the following year the office having been abolished, he acted as 
Inspector-General at West Point on the staff of Gen. Arnold, until 
after the discovery of his meditated treason, when Washington took 
him into his 'military family' as Recording Secretary of his official 
and private correspondence, which position he held during the war. 
He accepted the office of Recorder of the City of New York in 1783, 
and in the next year was elected a member of the State Legislature, 
when, with Samuel Jones, he was appointed to revise the Statutes of 
the State, issued in 1789. fie presided as Speaker of the Assem- 
bly in 1787 and 1788. Appointed Attorney General in May, 1789, 
and the following September elected Mayor of New York, which 
office he retained until Edward Livingston succeeded him in 1801. 
He was President of the New York Society of the Cincinnati from 
1806 until his decease, which occurred at his residence in Jersey 
City, upon which occasion the society issued the general order to 
attend his funeral from the Dutch Church, corner of Cedar and 
Nassau Streets, wearing the usual badge of mourning for thirty days, 
at the same time expressing the following sentiments : 'That his 
courtesy and kindness to the members, his liberality to such of the 
descendants of deceased members as needed it, and his attachment 
to this. Institution, can never be forgotten.' "

his time in the State of New York. He owned at one time all the 
land where the City of Ithaca, N. Y., now stands. 

John Schuyler's History of the Society of the Cincinnati in the 
State of New York, says of him : 

"He was born Christmas, 1756, in Ulster County, N. Y. He 
with fourteen others signed the articles of Association at Rochester, 
Ulster Co., N. Y., July 6, 1775, his father being chairman. While at 
Queen's College, New Brunswick, N. J., he enrolled in a company 
composed of its students, and when it was broken up by the capture, 
he went to reside with his uncle, Gen. James Clinton. He joined 
the line of the Continental Army as a volunteer and was present at 
the surrender of Burgoyne. Washington selected him as Assistant 
Geographer of the army from 1778 to 1780, when he was appointed 
by Congress, Dec. 4, 1780, its Geographer. He continued in that 
capacity and as Chief of Typographical Engineers, in the place of 
Col. Erskin, who resigned and returned to Europe, till the close of 
the war. He was present at Yorktown, giving effective service both 
there and on the march. His military maps and surveys were of 
great assistance to Washington. Honorably discharged the service 
on the 3d of November, 1783. The next year he was appointed 
Surveyor-General of the State of New York, and served as such till 
his decease. He surveyed public lands in that state, a work of great 
labor and importance, and compiled them in 1804 in his valuable 
State map. It is claimed that he did not avail himself of his knowl- 
edge of these lands by the purchase of an acre when they were sold. 
He also superintended the survey of the Erie Canal. He was one of 
the Commissioners to settle the position of the State line between 
New York and Pennsylvania. He was Regent of the University 
from 1798, Vice Chancellor from 1817, and Chancellor from 1829. 
The 'Elements of Perspective,' published at Albany in 18 13, was one 
of his many useful and ingenious essays. He was accepted to be 
what Dr. T. Romeyn Beck, his eulogist, described him, 'A patriot, a 
soldier and a Christian'." 

C. F, Mulks in the Ithaca Journal of Dec. 26, 1896, says of him : 

"Gen. Simeon DeWitt, the proprietor and founder of the village, 
now the city of Ithaca, was of both Dutch and Huguenot ancestry. 
He was a descendant of the fourth generation of a Dutch emigrant 



766 History of the Dey Family. 

from Holland who settled on Manhattan Island during the adminis- 
tration of Peter Stuyvesant, the last of Dutch governors of New York. 
His name was Tjerck Claussen DeWitt. A brother and sister also 
emigrated from Holland at or about the same time, the brother dying 
within a few years unmarried. Emigrant UeWitt was married at 
New Amsterdam (now New York City) in 1656, and five years after 
had left there and settled at Kingston, on the Hudson river, and 
from him have descended the numerous and well-known DeWitt 
family of Ulster county. As a family clan they were staunch patriots 
in the American Revolution on both civil and military lines. Seven- 
teen of them signed the Association pledge in the town of Rochester, 
Ulster county alone and many others in the towns of the county. 
This was a pledge to support the measures of the Continental Con- 
gress and of the provincial legislature of New York m opposition to 
the acts of the British ministry until a reconciliation could be effected 
between the colonies and the British parliament on constitutional 
principles. It antedated the Declaration of Independence a year. 
Similar pledges were circulated and signed in all the towns of this 
state and of the thirteen original stales. The signers were called 
'associators' and five of the seventeen in Rochester were Dr. Andries 
DeWitt and his four sons, one being Simeon, then about nineteen 
years of age. 

"There are to be found the names of twenty De Witts on the 
Revolutionary army rolls of this state, and in all ranks from privates 
to captain and major. They were one of the most patriotic families 
all through the Revolution. Two of Gen. DeWitt's uncles were 
commissioned officers : Jacob Rutzen DeWitt, who was a captain of 
the company of rangers which bore his name and formed part of 
Clinton's brigade, and Thomas DeWitt. a major who was with his 
regiment in the fan)ous Sullivan expedition as the town-destroyers of 
the Six Nations of Indians of New York in 1779. He was also an 
officer in the winter expedition and campaign to Canada to attempt 
the capture of the fortress of Quebec, a campaign of great fatigue, 
suffering and of ultimate disaster and failure. 

"The father of General DeWitt was Dr. Andries DeWitt, who 
was chairman of the provincial town committee of Rochester in the 
Revolution, and was for fifty years a practicing physician of his 
native county of Ulster, He died at New York in 1799 at the age 



Fifth Generation. 767 

of seventy-two. His mother was Jannetje Vernooy, which is the 
name of one of the Huguenot famihes of Ulster county, numbers of 
whom settled through the central and southern portion of that county 
about the time of the English succession in New York. 

"Simeon was the sixth in a family of fourteen children, but large 
families were quite fashionable in those times. He was born in 1756. 
He was educated at Rutgers College, New Jersey, and everything 
about him would seem to indicate an early taste and predeliction for 
the mathematical and exact sciences. His aunt was the wife of 
General James Clinton and this relationship undoubtedly gave him 
in younger years and in middle life the influential assistance and aid 
of one of the most powerful and dominant families in the state of 
New York for half a century. The Clinton family numbered in its 
ranks, two generals, two governors, a vice-president of the United 
States, senators, mayors, etc. He was a private in the army which 
captured Burgoyne at Saratoga, the most important battle of the 
Revolution, and which Creasy classes as one of the 15 decisive battles 
of the world, because had the result been different the American 
cause would have been lost irretrievably and the history of this 
country for all time would have been different from what it has been, 
(ien. DeWitt was in the Southern campaign, which captured (]orn- 
wallis, as an officer on Washington's staff. He was thus an eye-wit- 
ness to the surrender of two British armies in the War of the Revo- 
lution, the one at Saratoga and the other at Yorktown, Va. 

"He was first appointed Surveyor General in May, 1784, when 
he was in his 28th year, by the council of appointment, consisting of 
the governor and four senators; and held the office by virtue of this 
appointment till February, 1823. The new constitution made this 
and other high offices of the state elective by the legislature and in 
compliance with its requirements a new election became necessary. 
Party politics ran very high at the time between the Clintonian and 
Bucktail parties, the latter being the adherents of Daniel D. Tomp- 
kins. Hammond in his Political History of New York thus speaks 
of this election : 

"'The legislature on the 13th of February, nearly unanimously 
appointed Jno. V. N. Yates, secretary of state, Wm. L. Marcy, comp- 
troller. Simeon DeWitt, surveyor general and Alex M. Muir, commis- 
sary general. The selection of these gentlemen had been before 
made in caucus. At no period before or since, has caucus law been

more acquiesced in, and more promptly enforced than the present. 
Whatever were the bickerings and heat manifested before, or at the 
caucus, after that potent assembly had decided, no man dared scarce 
whisper a complaint, no 'dog moved his tongue'. But in truth the 
dominant party experienced very little difficulty in agreeing to sup- 
port these gentlemen. There was no controversy except in relation 
to the offices of surveyor general and comptroller. 

" 'Mr. DeVVitt venerated for his learning and age, and beloved 
for his quiet deportment and unostentatious benevolence, was a Clin- 
tonian. Under the various revolutions of parties he had held the 
office of surveyor general about forty years, and such was the respect 
felt for his character, that even Judge Skinner's council [of appoint- 
ment] had not ventured to disturb him. On this occasion, however, 
his re-appointment was opposed in caucus and an opposition candi- 
date named. But a very considerable majority of the Democratic 
members present, much to their credit, refused to sanction the claims 
of the opposing candidate. Mr. DeWitt was therefore re-appointed 
but his salary was reduced.' 

"He continued to hold the office till his death, a period of fifty 
and a half years. The duties were not those of a practical surveyor 
in the field but were executive, directory and supervisory, and during 
the early years of his incumbency related largely to the two military 
tracts, one in the central and the other in the northern part of the 
state ; and to the sale of such remnants of these as by operation of 
law reverted to the state and the proceeds became a part of the com- 
mon school fund. 

"On the first of November, 1789, Abraham Bloodgood, then a 
merchant of Albany, filed in the secretary of state's office a certificate 
of location for 1,400 acres of land lying near the south end of Cayuga 
Lake. His patent for it was issued on the 17th of the same month. 
This land includes the City of Ithaca lying west of Tioga street. 
There are evidences in the earliest title deeds of this vicinity that 
although Bloodgood was the legal claimant and patentee he was not 
the original locator of the tract. In these it is described as 'Zeelie's 
location of 1,400' and the location of Martinus Zeelie, and there are 
references to trees marked 'M. Z.' Three years after the issuance of 
the patent (which is a state deed) to Bloodgood, the latter on Decem- 
ber I, 1792, for 500 pounds of New York currency sold to Simeon 
DeWitt by lease and release, an old form for transferring uses in

possession, the whole 1,400 acre tract or location. The land in the 
Bloodgood-DeWitt transfer is described as 'situated in the county of 
Tioga near the south end of Cayuga Lake' and the initial point of 
which was 'at an elm tree marked M Z standing at the side of a 
brook that empties in the said lake,' and was in a square form as all 
locations by law had to be. The date of the Bloodgood claim and 
patent was about five years after his son-in-law, Mr. DeWitt, had be- 
come surveyor general and was about nine months after the title of 
Cayuga tribe of Indians had been extinguished. 

"Mr. DeVVitt, at a later date, sold off from the south end of the 
tract, four hundred acres to his brother-in-law, Francis A. Bloodgood, 
being that part lying south of Clinton street. 

"This was the beginning of Mr. DeWitt's proprietory interest in 
this valley. At a somewhat later date he obtained tax-titles to several 
small parcels of land lying along the east side of East Hill and which 
now form a portion of the campus, perhaps nearly or quite all of it. 
He also in time became the owner of the Markle and Johnson farms 
on the flat and with these he was, at the beginning of the century, 
the owner of this valley almost from hill top to hill top east and west 
across the Hat. 

"As the founder of the village, now city, of Ithaca, probably all 
has been written already that would be of interest to this generation. 
His home was at Albany, but for a great many years before his death 
he made annual visits here prolonging his stay for months at a time, 
but returning to the capitol city with the approach of winter. The 
winter of 1834 he staid and occupied apartments at the Clinton 
House, where his death occurred early in December in the northeast 
corner room of the third floor, being in his 79th year. During his 
stay at the Clinton about the last weeks of his life, in reply to a ques- 
tion by a young friend as to why he selected Ithaca in his earlier life, 
he said : 'The place looked to me so charming that I could not select 
a better place for a home ; the view from the hills interested me. 
The gravel site was a spot that could be made good and I like it.' 

"In referring to the death of Gen. DeWitt, Hammond in his 
history of New York, pays the following splendid tribute to his noble 
and useful life : 

"'In December (1834) Simeon DeWitt, surveyor general, at an 
advanced age departed this life. He had held the office of surveyor

general uninterruptedly for the space of fifty years. His merits as a 
citizen, a philanthropist, a friend and a patron of the arts and sci- 
ences and as an able and faithful officer, I need not mention. They 
are known and universally acknowledged. What is most singular, 
and what indeed is the highest evidence of his personal worth and 
official merit, is that, although he always openly and frankly avowed 
his political opinions, and although he frequently belonged to the 
party which was in the minority no party during the lapse of half a 
century ventured to remove him.' 

"Gen. DeWitt was three times married. His first wife was 
Elizabeth Lynnott, a step-daughter of Abraham Bloodgood of Albany, 
and half-sister of Judge F. A. Bloodgood of Ithaca. His second was 
a widow Hardenburg, whose maiden name had been Varick. She 
was very likely a near relative of Colonel Richard Varick, an early 
mayor of New York City, as Gen. UeWitt named one of his sons after 
that gentleman, an old custom with Dutch families. His third and 
last wife was a sister of VVm. Linn so well known in Ithaca a genera- 
tion ago and whose father was a distinguished clergyman and is said 
to have been a chaplain in the Revolutionary army. He survived her 
also several years. 

"Gen. DeWitt's will was made during his last stay in Ithaca and 
about three months before his death. It was probably written by 
Judge Amasa Dana, who with Dr. Samuel P. Bishop and Dr. Austin 
Church were the attesting witnesses. His friend. Charles Broadhead, 
of Albany, and his son, Richard Varick DeWitt, were the executors, 
the latter being made guardian of the younger children during their 
minority. 

"Among the mementoes given his children three portraits of 
himself are specifically mentioned, one by Ames and one by Inman 
and a miniature portrait by Dickerson. Also a Cincinnati badge of 
which society he was a member and to which his descendants are 
eligible to membership for all time. Would not one of these portraits 
of the founder and sponsor of this city be of historic interest to 
Ithaca?" 

He died Dec. 3, 1834, at Ithaca, N. Y.

by his second wife two sons and several daughters. ' He studied law 
with his father's cousin, Hon. Richard Varick, Mayor and Recorder 
of New York City. He was the owner, at one time, of the entire

Win field's History of Hudson County, N. J., says of him : 

"He was a lineal descendant of one Derrick Dey, who came 
to New York City from Holland in 1640, and established a mill and 
ferry at the foot of Dey street in that city. At the age of sixteen 
years Anthony came to the city and studied law in the office of his 
cousin, Colonel Richard Varick, to whose influence and connection 
he probably owed his early success in the practice of his profession, 
for he became a very successful and wealthy lawyer. He was also a 
very energetic, industrious and persevering man. He made it a rule 
through life to ignore political preferment, and never held any office, 
but was nevertheless, foremost in everything that could be called a 
public improvement, especially in Bergen County, or that part of it 
now called Hudson County. He was the owner of large tracts of

The History of Four Counties, so-called, says of him : 

"His early education was chiefly derived from the common 



776 History of the Dev Family. 

schools, and was supplemented by a little academic training. He 
had a decided inclination to the law, and as a preparation for that 
profession entered as a student the law office of Foote & Rumsey of 
Troy, N. Y., where he and John A. Collier, who was then a student 
in the same office, pursued their studies together. The two subse- 
quently, at Binghamton, N. Y., formed a law partnership, which was, 
however, of short duration. For a while thereafter Mr. Johnson re- 
sided in Hector, Schuyler Co. (then Cayuga), with the Richard Smith 
who became first judge of common pleas for Tompkins County, upon 
its erection in 1817, and held sessions alternately at his residence in 
Hector and at the Columbian Inn at Ithaca. Mr. Johnson came to 
Ithaca some years before his marriage, and opened a law office on 
Aurora Street, where he pursued his profession single-handed until 
near the year 18 19, when he became associated with Charles Hum- 
phrey, and continued that connection for a number of years. He was 
a partner of Henry S. Walbridge, and later of Anthony Schuyler. 
Mr. Johnson was one of the stanchest members of the Ithaca bar. 
Erudite, of logical mind, and possessed of rare powers in debate, his 
efforts before the courts where he practiced always challenged atten- 
tion and often admiration. Dry humor and sarcasm were allies 
always at his command, and, upon occasion, used. An indefatigable 
worker, he kept scrupulously within the bounds of his vocation, con- 
centrating his mental and physical strength upon the cases in hand, 
from which the temptations of office could not lure him. His intel- 
lect, cool and penetrating, sped its shafts straight to the mark, undi- 
verted by the false and immaterial. His nature w-as social, genial, 
though quiet and undemonstrative, revealing at times a slight eccen- 
tricity of manner, the habit of a mind preoccupied by engrossing sub- 
jects connected with his practice." 

The Ithaca Daily Journal of March 26th, 1900, "contained the 
following reminiscence of him from the pen of a noted local historian : 

"The Tompkins bar of 1835 numbered twenty-five members, 
counsellors and attorneys-at-law. That of 1900 has seventy-five, 
though a few of the latter are not now in active practice as lawyers. 

"In looking through the list of sixty-five years ago as printed in 
the N. Y. Law Register of 1835 two well remembered names are 
both prominent and conspicuous. They are Ben Johnson and Charles 



Sixth Generation. 777 

Humphrey. They both came here at about the same period which 
was the decade which witnessed the beginning and close of the War 
of 181 2-1 5. It was at this period that Ithaca first began to be a 
stirring and thriving village and young men of the professions and 
mechanic and mercantile pursuits would be attracted to it. Ten years 
before or about 1800, it had been a hamlet of a dozen or more log 
houses scattered over the flats and along the sides of East and South 
hills, a sort of back woods settlement. 

"Ben Johnson came from New Hampshire, but may have located 
brieHy at Troy, N. Y., before coming here to locate permanently and 
grow up with the place in the practice of his profession. He was 
here as early as 18 18 and had an office on north Aurora Street about 
where McGaugh's liquor store now is. He bought of General DeWitt 
a lot on Seneca Street and built a home, still standing and but little 
changed. His brother-in-law, Ebenezer Mack, built next adjoining, 
they had married sisters by the name of Dey. Mr. Johnson contin- 
ued in active practice of the law till his death a period of near thirty 
years. He is said to have been a tall, not very stout man with a slow 
reserved manner. He was unquestionably as reliable a man in the 
knowledge and understanding of law as any one of his time. He 
had a slow, yet an attractive way before a jury that especially on 
matters of property carried his cases to success. He was an active, 
useful member of the Presbyterian Church and a man of good influ- 
ences in what pertained to the community. Ben Johnson from ability, 
age and experience concededly stood at the head of the Tompkins 
County bar from 1830 to his death in the latter part of the forties. 
He certainly enjoyed a great reputation as a lawyer in the old sixth 
circuit bar which numbered among its members such eminent men as 
Daniel S. Dickinson, John A. Collier, William H. Seward, Joshua A. 
Spencer. 

"C. F. MULKS." 

The Ithaca Daily News of April 24, 1899, contained the follow- 
ing about him, taken from the Watkins Democrat : 

"While at the Ithaca Academy, for two years, when court was in 
session, we often attended doubtless to the detriment of our studies, 
to hear the lawyers wrangle. Tompkins County was then thought to 
have the largest number of good (and some eminent) lawyers of any 



778 History of the Dey Family. 

county in the State, barring the great cities. Ben Johnson, Charles 
Humphrey, Wm. Linn, Geo. D. Beers, Stephen B. Cushing, Judge 
Hubbell, Samuel Love, Geo. G. Freer, and an eccentric old gentle- 
man by the name of Stockholm, were the most prominent. 

"Johnson, from ability, age and experience, stood at the head of 
bar. Beers, then a young man of great promise, was often employed 
against Johnson. Perhaps no man living or dead was ever endowed 
or ever will be with such unmitigated assurance, and on occasion 
with such collossal impudence as George D. Beers. He would fre- 
quently pitch into Johnson, like a sky-terrier into a mastiff — and 
sometimes get the best of him. When he addressed the jury first he 
would steal Johnson's thunder somewhat as follows : 'Gentlemen, you 
are now to be addressed by my distinguished opponent. He has, 
gentlemen, somehow obtained a great reputation and chiefly I think, 
by stating his propositions with such assurance and gravity that the 
unsophisticated are quite inclined to regard them law, when the fact 
is, in many instances, there is no warrant for his statements in any 
law books ever published. I will not say that he means, at such 
times to deliberately lie, but gentlemen, he does it to keep up his 
reputation and increase the number of his clients. You will do well, 
therefore, to accept whatever he may say with many grains of allow- 
ance.' He would then take his hat and leave the Court House. 

"With something like this and doubtless studied variations, he 
finally roused the tiger in Johnson, and the old veteran rose as Beers 
■ was leaving court and said : 'Gentlemen, there he goes as usual like 
that other little spotted animal which, after squirting its liquid runs 
to escape its effluvia.' He then for about ten minutes everlastingly 
basted and roasted Beers and gave due notice that he would skin and 
dissect him to the best of his ability every time he ejected his dye 
stuff and then left court. Thereafter Beers faced the music and 
treated the old gentleman with more consideration. 

"While Beers had the most phenomenal impudence, Cushing 
had the most extraordinary volubility. A phonograph operated by 
steam would give some idea of his marvelous fluency of speech. He 
would say more in thirty minutes than the average law'yer in three 
years. After one of his addresses to the jury Johnson followed and 
said : 'Gentlemen, my little friend (Cushing was small) seems to run 
to words — and he has it bad, and it seems constantly growing worse.

You are fortunate, gentlemen, in getting to the end of his discourse. 
Should his disease continue some future jury will be doomed to hear 
a whole dictionary. It would seem there ought to be some astringent 
specific to his case. But then, gentlemen,' he added reflectively, 'I 
doubt if there is anything in nature that can stop him.' We shall 
never forget the solemnity with which he closed his address to the 
jury in the case of Graham, whom he convicted of murder : 'Gentle- 
men, you have now a solemn, but an imperative duty to perform. 
Courts and juries are the guardians of life, liberty and property of 
every citizen. The prisoner at the bar has been shown to be the 
greatest criminal and has thus incurred the severest penalty known 
to our laws. Without any provocation he has slain his fellow man. 
He is thus a rotten branch, a dangerous, wild beast ready to rend 
any member of society and it is your duty, not to be regarded as 
painful, but with alacrity and without regret to cut him off.' " 

At the time of her death the Ithaca Journal said : 

"The funeral of Mrs. Ben Johnson took place this afternoon 
from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. J. B. Sprague. Jane Dey 
was born August 29, 1798, eighty-three years and one month before 
the day of her d^th. Sixty-four years ago she came to Ithaca as the 
bride of Ben Johnson. For the past thirty-three years she has lived 
here as his widow. She bore her husband eleven children, of whom 
two died in infancy, and one, Eleanor, wife of Anthony Schuyler, died 
in 1849, leaving four children, of whom the two survivors, with their 
father, attended their grandmother's funeral. The other eight — Mrs. 
Orson Bostwick, Mrs. Charles P. Dibble, Jesse Johnson, Mrs. Charles 
Swan, Mrs. Joseph B. Sprague, Charles Dey Johnson, William G. 
Johnson and Mrs. Charles M. Titus — were all among the mourners 
of their mother today. Eight grandchildren, and three great-grand- 
children, the children of Hermon V. and Emily Dibble Bostwick, also 
followed the remains, and there are two other great-grandchildren, 
one the son of Montgomery and Katherine Livingston Schuyler, of 
New York, and one the son of Charles A. and Julia Barry Dibble, of 
St. Paul. The husband of Mrs. Johnson's eldest daughter walked at 
the head of her coffin, and the husband of her youngest daughter at 
its foot, and it was borne to burial by her three sons and three of her 
grandsons. 



ySo History of the Dey Family. 

"This chronicle would of itself give a significance in a manner 
historical to the closing of the life to which the lives of thirty-four 
living descendants, of three generations, are traced back. But to 
those who knew Mrs. Johnson, the extrinsic significance of her life 
and of her death is trivial compared to the impression which abides 
with them of the intrinsic power and beauty of her character. Ful- 
filling always and to the utmost through the long years of her activity 
every duty, religious, social and domestic, which was imposed upon 
her, her mourning friends will look back with even more tender feel- 
ings to the years which were allotted to her after the activities of her 
life were over. In these years, the calm afternoon of her long day, a 
respite seemed to have been granted her that she might serve to 
those who had grown up about her as a precious and beautiful exam- 
ple of patience and of repose. 'Beaming in mildest mellow splendor ; 
beaming, if also trembling, like a sun upon the verge of the horizon, 
near now to its long farewell,' she stayed and shone during these 
latter years, and 'the light of her countenance' was to those about her 
neither an unmeaning nor an extravagant expression. Of a noble 
beauty in her youth and in the years of her maturity, her beauty re- 
mained in her extreme age. The rare union of sweetness and dignity 
made hers a most winning as well as a most impressive presence. To 
the last her mind retained its clearness and its poise and her charac- 
ter its radiant attractiveness. No sign of querulousness ever marred 
the tranquility with which ^he bore the burden of her many years and 
of her many bodily infirmities throughout her serene and beautiful 
old age. She has died tended to the last by the most affectionate 
ministrations and accompanied to the last by 

That which should accompany old age 

As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends, 

and she has left the world better for her having been in it for those 
who are to follow her."

fraternity. He married Sarah Walsh of Albany. He was a Director 
in the Clinton Insurance Company of Albany at its organization in 
1829. Director in the Canal Bank of Albany at its organization in 
1829. President of the Commerce Insurance Company in 1872. 
Admitted a member of the New York Society of the Cincinnati in 
1836. Brigadier General in the State Militia, 1826. 

At the time of his death the Albany Journal said of him : 

"Richard Varick DeWitt, known to all men who have been long 
resident of this city, Albany, N. Y., and loved and respected by all 
to whom he was known, died this morning after a long illness. From 
his very boyhood he was marked for the purity, uprightness, amia- 
bility and we may say the religiousness of his character. Descended 
from those who were distinguished for intelligence and virtues, his 
outset in life was attended by every circumstance that promised 
worldly success and happiness, and although he subsequently encoun- 
tered troubles and reverses that greatly changed the aspect of his 
life, they never impaired the fine qualities of his nature. Inheriting 
his father's scientific taste he always took a warm interest in all scien- 
tific institutions and in all mechanical improvements and enterprises 
of his time and gave to them in his active years much of his time and 
fortune. He was of the founders of the Albany Lyceum and after- 
wards of the Albany Institute. Through all his many years of failing 
health and suffering, he ever preserved the original sweetness and 



Sixth Generation. . 785 

serenity of his disposition and elevated as it was by the reUgions and 
convictions which had been the rule and comfort of his life. He has 
gone from us leaving to us all a good and enduring remembrance." 

The Albany Argus said : 

"Richard Varick DeWitt. This venerable citizen died last Fri- 
day morning at his residence in Albany, after a lingering illness. Mr. 
DeVVitt lived a long and useful life, and died respected and beloved 
by all who knew him. He was a gentleman of great purity of life, 
and of scientific tastes and attainments. To promote these pursuits, 
he became one of the founders of the Albany Lyceum, and afterwards 
of the Institute, in which he retained a deep interest to the day of his 
death. He was also identified with various religious enterprises, and 
for more than a quarter of a century was a faithful member of the 
Middle Dutch Church. Inheriting a large fortune from his father, 
Simeon DeWitt, for many years surveyor-general of the State, he 
dispensed it liberally in the promotion of works of improvement, in 
railroads and steamboats, and in testing mechanical inventions that 
promised to be useful to mankind. Mr. DeVVitt was sixty-eight years 
of age." 

Another Albany newspaper said . 

"On the 7th inst., Richard Varick DeWitt departed to a better 
world. He was born at the beginning of the present century, in this 
city, which then and for some time subsequently, was truly the Capi- 
tal of this State and the centre of its culture, fashion and politics — a 
position of which Albany, in common with many other towns in this 
country, has been in a measure deprived by the overshadowing growth 
and progress of New York. He was descended from a family, which 
numbers in its ranks of soldiers and civiUans, John DeWitt, Grand 
Pensionary of Holland, a statesman who raised his country to a pitch 
of greatness. The association of his father, Simeon DeWitt, and his 
uncle, Richard \'arick, both distinguished officers of the Revolution, 
brought him in contact early in life with many of the eminent men 
who then fiourished, and afforded him frequent opportunities of per- 
sonally noting their virtues and characteristic qualities. His anec- 
dotes and recollections of Governor Morris, the elder Livingstons, 
DeWitt Clinton. Kent. Spencer, General Armstrong, and many well 
known citizens, North and South, were very interesting. He gradu- 



786 History of the Dey Family. 

ated at Union College and after the usual preparatory study in the 
oiBce of the late Harmanus Bleecker, afterward U. S. Minister at the 
Hague, was called to the bar. The possessor of a large estate of 
which a considerable portion of the village of Ithaca formed a part, 
and a favorite in and fond of society, his inclinations led him to liter- 
ary and artistic pursuits as well as the cultivation of exact sciences. 
The designs and plans of buildings he has left behind him, show a 
careful study of good models, a correct eye for proportions and a 
familiarity with the principles of architecture, while his sketches and 
paintings in water color and oil are spirited and true to nature. He 
was a patron of the old Albany Library and one of the founders of 
the Albany Institute. He established and maintained a line of steam- 
boats on the Cayuga Lake, which were in their day considered to be 
models of speed, comfort and safety. Through his exertions, and 
chiefly with his means, the Ithaca & Owego Railroad was con- 
structed (one of the earliest lines in this State), and when the finan- 
cial disasters of 1837 occurred, he lost his property by the forced 
sale of this road for a trifling part of its cost. Not long afterward he 
suffered the loss of his beloved wife (a daughter of the late Dudley 
Walsh), a lady of great worth and very attractive in person, mind and 
manner. He was Vice-President, and during the absence of Governor 
Fish in Europe acting President of the State Cincinnati Society. 
Many New Yorkers will remember with pleasure the dinner of the 
Society at the Everett House, at which he presided, and when the 
late Senator Crittenden of Kentucky, spoke so eloquently. He, in 
connection with the late Mr. W. C. Miller, established the first of the 
Sunday schools in Albany, and through life and in every way exhib- 
ited a deep interest in their success. He was for many years an elder 
in the Middle Dutch Church, and was ever active in good works and 
zealous in the promotion of religion and virtue. There are many 
persons now living who can never forget his frequent acts of kindness. 
No changes of life or adverse depressing influences ever destroyed 
that natural buoyancy, geniality and vivacious bon ho?n??ic which he 
possessed in a marked degree. These qualities ever attracted to him 
the young, who enjoyed his society and profited by his example and 
advice, while his extensive reading, long observation of men and 
manners, his delicate humor and great refinement, threw a charm 
over his converse with people of all ages. In short, it may truly be 
said that in his unobtrusive kindness, his humble estimate of himself. 



Sixth Generation. 787 

his reliance for support on a higher power ; in his unselfish regard 
for the welfare of all, his charity, his acts of forgiveness ; in his con- 
sistent life and peaceful death he displayed in a marked degree, the 
attributes of a Christian gentleman. In the immediate circle of his 
family and relatives his loss has created an aching void which can 
never be filled, while his friends will ever cherish with mournful 
pleasure the remembrance of his many virtues." 

Another Albany newspaper said : 

"In the death of Richard Varick DeWitt Albany loses a citizen 
of the highest tone of character, a gentleman whose Christian life the 
church recognized and the world acknowledged. The son of the 
Surveyor-General DeWitt ; to whose worth of public service General 
Washington bore testimony ; all his life knowing only the associations 
of a gentleman ; of extraordinary zeal in science ; with the intelli- 
gence and large thought of one who looked throughout all his days 
to see the good that there was in life, less for him to enjoy than to 
communicate to others; meeting the night and day of Providential 
allotment with gentle thought of content, he was everywhere a cher- 
ished and respected man. His name would have been among the 
first to come to the utterance when these citizens were called upon to 
present a thorough gentleman and a consistent Christian. 

"These are not words lightly used ; but, rarely as they may ever 
be used truthfully, in that case they are just record. We go to his 
grave with that grief the shadow of which is for the living. He was 
faithful to his high principle, and honored his name and his city. 

"The Reformed Dutch Church in Beaver Street, of which he was 
for a lifetime a living, earnest member, has in its record many a name, 
imperfectly written, it may be, in those creations of dust which we 
call rank and riches, but brilliant in that record which is on high. It 
has a hallowed role of sainted men and women, and in these has a 
treasure beyond all defiance of earthly loss. Amidst these names 
this faithful Christian gentleman has welcome. Some of those who 
best knew him loved him best. In that company of good men to 
which that church holds inestimable title, his memory will remain, 
and the succession of usefulness his life begun the recollections of 
him shall make endearing, and the more from the fact that he never, 
with the higher life, forgot the comities and courtesies of hereditary 
culture and a gentleman's life. 



788 History of the Dey Family. 

"He was of the foremost and boldest in the advocacy of meas- 
ures of internal improvement, in this imitating the great statesman 
who was his friend, and, I believe, his relative. His courage, in 
advance of the time of its prosperity, connected the lakes of New 
York with the Susquehanna River by the iron rail. He took from 
the inert assignees of Robert Fulton an unexpired steamboat right, 
and initiated a career of navigation long since grown into large use- 
fulness. He had unconquerable love for science. 'At her feet he 
bowed.' He studied and labored and planned and invented over 
obstacles that made gigantic his cares, but he saw before him only 
the certain future success — a success beyond his grasp, but he knew 
the truths of his study, and if not for him, for others their good would 
come. The care is over, the vicissitude is past. His life of unsullied 
right was a great success, as Heaven interprets that word. 

"Sentinel." 

At a meeting of the Albany Institute, held on Saturday, Feb. 8. 
the following resolutions were adopted : 

"Resolved, That the members of the Albany Institute, recognizing 
the late Richard Varick DeWitt as one of its first officers, and a most 
active member during its whole existence, desire to testify, upon the 
occasion of his death, their appreciation of his high intelligence, his 
scientific attainments, his earnest efforts in the cause of education, 
his moral worth, and all the genial and kindly virtues that mark the 
character of a Christian philosopher. 

"Resolved, That, as a slight expression of our regard for his 
memory and regret for his loss, the record of his decease be placed 
upon the minutes of the Institute, and that we extend our heartfelt 
sympathy to his family in their bereavement. 

"Resolved, That we attend the funeral of the deceased in a 
body ; and that a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family. 

"James Weir Mason, Secretary." 

The Consistory and Trustees of the Second Reformed Church 
in the City of Albany, in joint meeting assembled, unanimously 
adopted the following minute : 

"With saddened and chastened hearts the Consistory and Trus- 
tees of the Second Reformed Church, chronicle their profound sorrow 
and sense of loss in the record of Richard Varick De Witt's departure 
from earth.

"For nearly fifty years a member of this church, he maintained 
a spotless Christian reputation, and beautifully exemplified the graces 
of an humble and earnest follower of Jesus. During a considerable 
part of this lengthened period called to fill all church offices to which 
he could be chosen, he brought to the discharge of their duties, with 
fullest consecration, a richly endowed and stored mind, a loving heart, 
an energetic spirit, an ever helpful hand, so that the formative influ- 
ence of his pure life and the power of his judicious activities can be 
gratefully traced through nearly the entire history of our church. 

"While we mourn him as the loyal and consistent member, the 
Sabbath school teacher and superintendent, whose gentleness won 
those whom his wisdom instructed, the trustee sagacious and liberal, 
the deacon sympathizing and generous, the elder who ruled well, the 
friend ever genial and true — we praise the God of all grace for the 
rich legacy of his undying character and example. 

"Our grief deepens our sympathy for his sorely bereaved family, 
for whom, with assurance of sincerest interest and aff'ection, we suppli- 
cate that divine support and consolation, through the abundant enjoy- 
ment of which their honored and beloved father lived so admirably 
and then so peacefully fell on sleep.

70401. Richard Varick. Born in 1S32 in Albany, N. Y. Educated at 
the .Albany Academy. He was admitted to the Society of the 
Cincinnati July 4, 186S. He was prominently engaged in the 
insurance business in the City of Albany and was Secretary of 
the Albany Insurance Company, 1890-6, when he engaged in 
business for himself. Director in the Albany Exchange Sav- 
ings Bank. Trustee of the Albany Medical College. At the 
time of his death the Albany Argus said : "Former Fire Commis- 
sioner Richard Yarick DeWitt died at his home on Lancaster 
Street last eveJiing after a brief illness. His death will come as 
a shock to his hosts of friends in this city. He was widely 
known and highly respected. Mr. DeWitt was born in Albany 
in 1S32 and was the son of Richard V. and Sarah Walsh DeWitt. 
Simeon DeWitt. grandfather of the deceased, was a prominent 
officer in the Continental Army. In 1778 Congress appointed 
him chief of the topographers of the Continental Army and 
geographer-general, which positions he retained until the close

of the Revolutionary War. He served as surveyor-general of 
New York State from 1784 to 1834. He declined the appoint- 
ment of surveyor-general of the United States, which was ten- 
dered him by Congress in 1784. Richard V. DeWitt was edu- 
cated at the Albany Academy and in 1849 entered the employ 
of the Albany Insurance Company as clerk. In 1854 he was 
appointed to a clerkship in the New York State Bank, which 
position he held until 1868, when he again engaged in the 
insurance business. From 1872 to 1S90 Mr. DeWitt was secre- 
tary of the Commerce Insurance Company and was secretary of 
the Albany Insurance Company from 1890 to 1896, when he 
resigned to engage in business for himself. He was a member 
of the board of fire commissioners, being appointed September 
8, 1887, to succeed John McEwan. He was secretary of the 
board for several years and was succeeded by James McCredie. 
Mr. DeWitt served in the fire board with distinction until it was 
legislated out of office in 1900. He was also actively identified 
with the board of underwriters and for many years served as 
chairman of the Protectives' Committee. Mr. DeWitt was a 
trustee of the Madison Avenue Reformed Church for thirteen 
years. He was at one time a director of the Albany Exchange 
Savings Bank. He was a trustee of the Albany Medical Col- 
lege, a member of the standing committee of the Society of the 
Cincinnati of the State of New York, and president of the 
Albany branch of the local Fire Insurance Agents' Association 
of New York State. Mr. DeWitt was closely identified with 
athletic sports in .\lbany and was for many years an active 
oarsman and greatly interested in baseball. He was a clever 
writer and articles from his pen were often seen in the public 
prints. He wrote for the New York Times and frequently for 
the local press." The Ithaca Daily News said : "The New 
York branch of the Order of the Cincinnati has issued the fol- 
lowing order or announcement : Office of the Secretary. New 
York, Aug. 24th, 1 90 1. General Order. With regret announce- 
ment is made of the death, at Albany, N. Y., on Wednesday, 
August 2ist, i9or, of Richard Varick DeWitt, a member of the 
New York State Society of the Cincinnati. Nicholas Fish, 
President. By order : F. K. Pendleton, Secretary. Richard 
Varick DeWitt, whose death is here announced, was the grand- 
son of Simeon DeWitt the founder of Ithaca. He was the son 
of Richard Varick DeWitt, senior, who passed awaj' at Albany 
about 1866-7. They were both for man\' years engaged in the 
insurance business which has been continued by the son of the 
same name to the present time. The name of Richard Varick 
comes from Col. Richard Varick a distinguished officer of the 
Revolution and afterwards prominent in civil life, having been 
mayor of New York City and attorney-general of the State. He

was a brother-in-law of General Simeon DeWitt of Ithaca. 
Richard Varick DeWitt, senior, though never a resident of 
Ithaca, used often to visit here on pleasure and business being 
one of the executors of the estate of his father, Simeon DeWitt. 
He was well known by the citizens here and is still well remem- 
bered by a few of the older people yet living." The Ithaca 
Democrat said : "The death is announced of Richard Varick 
DeWitt of Albany, a grandson of Simeon DeWitt and an hon- 
ored and distinguished member of the New York Society of 
Cincinnati. This gentleman, whose father's name was the 
same as his own, had long been identified with the insurance 
business of Albany, and I believe was a vice-president or promi- 
nent officer of one of the insurance companies incorporated and 
doing business in that city. His death recalls a name and 
family, historic to Ithacans, and eminent in the annals of the 
State. I refer to Simeon DeWitt, who died in one of the upper 
rooms of the Clinton House, in this city, near the closing week 
of 1834, aged 78. General DeWitt had three sons, only one of 
whom married and left issue, and the person who has just 
passed awa}-, was his only lineal grandson. The latter leaves 
one or more sons, so the family in the male line does not be- 
come extinct. The father of the deceased, Richard Varick 
DeWitt, senior, was born at Albany at the beginning of the 
last century. He lived there and died there F~ebruary 7, 1868, 
aged 68 years. He is said to have been like his father a gentle- 
man of varied literary accomplishments and a member of the 
Albany Institute, of which institution both himself, and his 
father, the surveyor-general of the State, had been among the 
founders. The De Witts, father and sons, and Francis A. Blood- 
good, who was closely related to them, were the original pro- 
moters and main financial support of the old Ithaca and Owego 
railroad, the second railroad incorporated in the State, and the 
first in that part of it, west of the Mohawk Valley. It was a 
bold, brilliant enterprise for that day, but was not financially 
successful, and left the estates of the promoters heavily em- 
barrassed. The association of the elder Richard Varick DeWitt 
with his father and his uncle. Colonel Richard Varick, both dis- 
tinguished officers of the Revolution, and eminent in civil life, 
brought him in contact with many of the eminent men who 
then flourished, and gave him the opportunity of cultivating 
their friendship. Among his friends were such eminent men as 
Gouverneur Morris, the Livingstons, DeWitt Clinton, Chan- 
cellor Kent, the Spencers, General Armstrong and many others.

70403. Alice. Married Augustus dePeyster. She died between 1866 
and 1870, at Brookline, Mass. At the time of her death an 
Albany newspaper said : "The death of Mrs. Alice de Peyster 
brings tribulation and anguish to so many, both at home and 
abroad, that her immediate family constitute but a small part 
of the sorrowful array who mourn her loss and will cherish her 
memory. Bereaved of her mother in infancy, she became an 
object of the tender care and culture of one of the meekest of 
Christians and most accomplished of men, lier father, the late 
Richard Varick DeWitt. Under his wise and loving super- 
vision, her moral and intellectual character was formed ; and it 
was just what might have been expected from the tutelage of 
so much goodness and wisdom. Her suave manners and gentle 
nature made her the idol of her companions during childhood 
and youth, and won the love and regard of the mature and 
observant, who found ground for hopes of future excellence 
and usefulne.ss in her rece])tive mind, active intellect and con- 
scientious industry ; which hopes, however high, were more 
than justified in her womanhood. The fine moral qualities and 
mental capabilities she was endowed with bv nature were care- 
fully nourished and strengthened, and they early expanded to 
a depth and breadth that afforded support to every grace and 
virtue that piety, intelligence and refinement could implant 
there. Enjoying keenly the high and refined pleasures which 
such endowments and acquisitions can hardly fail to give to 
those who possess them ; to her, nevertheless, those rich gifts 
seemed rather a trust fund for the benefit of others, and in her 
unselfishness accounted herself a beneficiary. Hence, no op- 
portunity to do good or give pleasure to others was suffered to 
pass unimproved, and her labors in the church and the Sabbath 
school earned for her the respect of age and the love of child- 
hood. From this field and such pursuits, and from a society 
that loved her, four short years ago, she was taken, amid bless- 
ings and tears, to enter upon a new career of life on another 
theatre ; leaving memories behind her that will now be hoarded 
more closely than ever. She became the wife of one worthv to 
be her husband, and in this relation she was, what she had 
been in every other, a theme of praise and a model for imitation. 
In her new sphere, as in the one she had left, she compassed 
the affection and respect of all who came to have knowledge of 
her, and tears are now flowing as freely in Brookline as in 
Albany over a dispensation so mysterious, that Faith itself may 
be pardoned for wondering whether Heaven can need so much 
as Earth does such women as Alice DeWitt de Peyster.

Townsend's farm at sheriff's sale at Bostwick's Corners in 1820. 
His son Orson came to live upon it, Andrew following some years 
later. Andrew began mercantile trade with Oliver Williams."

Sept. 14, 1842, Hetty Johnson. 70174. Business man. Merchant. 
Vice-President of the First National Bank of Marshall, Mich. 

At the time of his death a Marshall newspaper said : 

"The sad intelligence of the death of Hon. Charles P. Dibble 
was conveyed here Wednesday morning by means of a telegram re- 
ceived by his son from Aiken, S. C. With his wife he left here four 
weeks ago to visit his son Henry at that pl^ce, and letters received 
from time to time stated that his health was rapidly improving under 
the influence of the warm southern climate. He was stricken with 
paralysis, however, last week and lingered until Tuesday, with no 
hope of recovery. It was the second stroke, the first having been 
sustained about seven years ago. 

"He was born in Skaneateles, Onondaga Co., N. Y., August 28, 
18 1 5, where he resided until fourteen years of age, with his parents, 
Philo and Susan Dibble, who were respectively natives of Massachu- 
setts and New York. He received his education at the district and 
select schools and also at Homer Academy. At the age of fourteen 
the nestling resolved to try his own pinions, and accordhigly leaving 
his home he entered a store, where he remained as clerk three years. 
Here he showed such a natural tact and aptitude for mercantile life 
that we ne.xt find him a partner in the firm of his father, and then

sole proprietor of a similar business at Kelloggsville. After remain- 
ing at the latter place twelve months he closed out his stock of goods 
and in the fall of 1835, at the age of twenty, he came to the boundless 
west to battle for fortune. 

"He was attracted to Marshall by the reports of her growth, and 
after purchasing considerable property, he went as far west as Chi- 
cago on a prospecting tour. He returned with the belief that Marshall 
was as favorable a location as the west afforded, and in the spring of 
1836 he brought in a stock of goods and began trading. This was 
steadily followed with success until 1877, when he retired therefrom 
on account of ill health, surrendering the business to his son, Charles 
A. Dibble. It was a busy mercantile life, beginning in 1832 and 
spanning a lapse of forty-five years, and it must needs have been 
checkered by privations incident to the life of a pioneer, by vexations 
and attendant losses, though in the main pleasant and prosperous. 

"He was married, September 14, 1842, to Miss Ilettie Johnson, 
of Ithaca, N. Y., where she was born. She, with five children, sur- 
vive him — William and Evelyn, of this city; Mrs. Emily Bostwick, of 
Ithaca, N. Y.; Charles A., of St. Paul, Minn., and Henry M. Dibble, 
of Aiken, S. C. Theirs was a happy wedded life with onlv three 
shadows to mar its brightness — the death of their children, Benjamin. 
Louise and Walter. 

"It is safe to say that no man in the county ever enjoyed the 
confidence of the people to a greater extent than Hon. C. P. Dibble. 
He has been treasurer of almost every association ever formed in the 
city and county, and for twenty years serv'ed the agricultural society 
of Calhoun County in that position or that of president continuously. 
He was treasurer of the Marshall and Bellevue plank road company 
and also of the Coldwater, Marshall & Mackinac railroad. In his 
political affiliations he was a Republican, having formerly been a 
Whig partisan. He was elected the first mayor of the city in 1859. 

"As a citizen he was wedded to the interests of Marshall, and in 
everything pertaining to the advancement and prosperity of the city 
he took a lively interest. No enterprise was started here that did 
not find in him a ready sympathizer. He was one of the stockholders 
in the hoe factory, and was one of the original stockholders in the 
First National Bank, of which he has for years been vice-president. 
As chairman of the building committee of the board of trustees he 



Seventh Generation. 797 

superintended the erection of our fine high school building and per- 
formed such signal service in this capacity that he was presented 
with a purse of ^500, as a slight testimonial of the esteem in which 
his untiring labor was held. Refusing to accept the money as a gift 
to himself, he placed it at interest, and yearly the income — $50 — is 
divided among the various departments as prizes. He was one of 
the most prominent members of Trinity Church and was junior warden 
of the church a great many years. 

"The deceased was a man of marked traits of character, firm 
and unyielding in defence of right and justice, yet sympathetic and 
merciful to the unfortunate. His greatness consisted in the combina- 
tion of fiualities and excellent characteristics which go to make up a 
good man. 'He was a man, take him for all in all, we shall not look 
uDon his like again.' Marshall mourns his death."

JOSEPH R. SPRAGUE 



Seventh Generation. 799 

At the time of his death the Denver Tribune said : 

"Hon. Joseph B. Sprague, of Ithaca, N. Y., died at Charpiot's 
Hotel in this city, yesterday forenoon at 11:30. This event, so very 
une.xpected, is the occasion of many expressions of sincere regret 
here, and will be the cause of genuine sorrow among a very large 
circle of friends in the East. 

"Colonel Sprague, as the deceased was familiarly designated, has 
frequently visited Colorado during the last three or four years, having 
mining property at Wagon Wheel Gap, and when in the state has 
made this city his home. In company with his wife, now at the 
family residence in Ithaca, N. Y., where the news of Mr. Sprague's 
death will reach her, he made an extended trip through the mountain 
districts during the summer, visiting all the principal places of interest 
and resort and making a large collection of rare and curious speci- 
mens from the mineral and animal resources of the state. Colonel 
Sprague had a decided penchant for making collections, and his 
recent purchase of the elk-horn chair at Taylor's Museum will be 
fresh in the minds of Tribune readers. From his early years he 
was a great traveler, and those who knew him best have often 
listened with pleasure to his accounts of his adventures by sea and 
land — there scarcely being a country, no matter how far or strange, 
that he had not visited. Mr. Sprague was fifty-three years of age, 
and a native of Rochester, N. Y., and a son of Asa Sprague, pro- 
prietor of the old stage line from that point to Buffalo, and after- 
wards for many years a banker and prominent citizen of Rochester, 
where the Colonel was very widely known and highly esteemed. 
In connection with Hon. Hiram Sibley, of Rochester, he was inter- 
ested in mining property in Montana, and among his more intimate 
friends in Denver were Mr. George Wilder and Charles F. Burrell, 
formerly of that city. 

"Mr. Sprague's home for the past eight or ten years has been at 
Ithaca, N. Y., he having been Mayor of that city last year, and the 
present year receiving the nomination for Congress from the Demo- 
crats of his district. As he was at the time in this state, and engaged 
with business matters here, the proffered honor was declined. Mr. 
Sprague arrived in Denver from the East early in September, and 
after a short stay in the city visited his property in Wagon Wheel 
Gap. After his return to Denver he seemed to enjoy his usual 



8oo History of the Dev Family. 

health until within a very few days of his death. On Monday he 
suddenly became very ill, and on being assisted to his room at Char- 
piot's, soon sank into a comatose condition, in which, in spite of the 
most skillful and devoted medical attendance and nursing that could 
be procured, he continued until death resulted, the direct cause being 
cerebral apoplexy. . Mr. Sprague was a very large and fleshy man, 
and had long feared the disease which finally terminated his life. He 
was as large in heart as in body, and in every respect a thorough 
gentleman. 

"In his death the mining interests of Colorado lose a staunch 
friend, Denver an ardent admirer (the Colonel had frequently said he 
knew of no place of its size anywhere that could compare with this 
city), the bereaved wife a kind and devoted husband, and a host of 
acquaintances one whom they universally esteemed for his manly, 
generous qualities. 

"The friends were duly notified of the death of Mr. Sprague, and 
the remains were taken in charge bv an undertaker, by whom they 
were embalmed, preparatory to shipment East today." 

The Ithaca Daily Journal said : 

"The telegrams in the Journal last Saturday evening heralding 
the fatal illness and finally the death of Col. Sprague may be said, 
without exaggeration, to have shocked the people of our village, as no 
like event has done since the death of Ezra Cornell. 

"Citizens with the paper in hand assembled upon the street 
corners, in hotels and stores to exchange expressions of regret and 
sorrow at the tidings. At the tea table and evening gatherings it 
was the engrossing topic. The universal sentiment was that Ithaca 
had not only lost a public spirited citizen, a man with a willing heart 
and open purse, but that the poor would feel in the coming winter 
the painful absence of one who while living had never forgotten or 
disregarded their claims ; a man of great travel and varied experience, 
of the kindest impulses and ever looking to the improvement of the 
village. In most cases there would be some exceptional voices in 
the general chorus, but we have yet to hear of one in this case or of 
a person who has heard of one. There is no better phrase to express 
the standing of the deceased in this and the many other communities 
in which he was well known than that of intense -popularity'. While 
thoroughly independent in announcing his hard, common sense ideas^

he never offended by so doing. A small, or penurious action was 
totally foreign to his nature. He was integrity itself in private deal 
or in places of public trust. Although not a man of unusual mental 
ability, marked originality or brilliancy in either thought or speech, 
yet he unmistakably possessed the magic power of quickly winning 
and forever holding the good will of every one with whom he came 
in contact— from the millionaire who faced him at a club dinner — to 
the boy who blacked his boots upon the streets. To the majority of 
men this would seem a more valuable gift than that of genius. Very 
democratic, never apparently seeing any reason why the man of 
money and inHuential position was entitled to greater consideration 
or kinder words than those occupying the most dependent and menial 
of stations. 

"Since his coming to Ithaca no event involving charity or public 
spirit has been without his name and purse near the top. It is im- 
possible to clearly define the deceased's earlier days without a some- 
what extended reference to his father; but this will not only be 
pardoned by all but enjoyed by most of our elderly readers. 

"Asa Sprague was born at Schenectady, N. Y., where his only 
son. Joseph B., also first saw light. Subsequently, the family removed 
t(j Rochester, but this was after the former had acquired a name as 
potential as that of Dean Richmond on the old stage and even rail- 
roads from Albany to Buffalo. Born poor, with limited advantages, 
Asa Sprague in his early life was in charge of the toll gate over the 
once famous Cayuga bridge. This was in the jolly but tiresome old 
times of universal stage coaching. John Butterfield, since the many 
millionaire, was then the hard worked driver of one of the stages 
which was regularly driven through the toll gate of which Sprague 
was in charge. Acquaintance ripened into intimacy ; soon a partner- 
ship was formed and eventually they became the largest interested in 
the stage lines between Albany and Buffalo. Then came the advent 
of railroads and the decline of the more primitive method of travel. 
Mr. Sprague was largely interested in and superintendent of the old 
Rochester and Syracuse or Auburn railroad. This was before the 
adoption of the Bismarckian policy of consolidation and antedated 
the N. Y. C. & H. R. R. R. 

"By his sagacity and business ability he amassed a fortune of 
Si. 200,000. CO and died at his home in Rochester. 



8o2 History of the Dey Family. 

"John Butterfield allied himself with the Welles and Fargos and 
became one of the express magnates, the possessor of a fortune 
counted by millions, and the father of Gen. Dan. E. Butterfield. The 
deceased, Joseph Brittin Sprague, well known as 'Colonel' (a title 
won only by his stature, military bearing, and overflowing genial 
spirits) was born as above stated at Schenectady, N. Y., Sept. 19, 
1826. Upon the same day his father purchased a one-half interest 
in the marble block, corner Broadway and State streets, in Albany, 
known as the old Museum. To this coincidence is attributed the 
Colonel's persistent refusal to listen to any proposal for his disposition 
of the same, during his lifetime. On the contrary, he purchased the 
other interest and when the structure was destroyed by fire some four 
years since, he rebuilt it grander than before. 

"As a sailor in early manhood, he had been to China, Japan, the 
Russian Possessions, the Sandwich Islands and many other foreign 
lands. Returning home, he embarked .first in business at Ovid, N. Y., 
near the site of the present Asylum. Here, with a partner he con- 
ducted a large general store and bought and shipped immense quan- 
tities of produce from the shores of Seneca Lake to the eastern 
markets. It was while residing at Ovid that he came to Ithaca, and 
in the house at present occupied by Frank C. Cornell, that he was 
married to Louise, fifth daughter of the late Ben Johnson. 

"We next learn of him as largely engaged in the manufacture of 
safes, scales, etc., and also interested in a large hardware establish- 
ment connected therewith. This was in Rochester and the business 
was done under the firm name of Sprague, Stevens & Co. After live 
or six years he withdrew from this enterprise and retired to a farm of 
five hundred acres in Urbana, Ohio. This farm, together with the 
Albany Museum property, formed a portion of his father's estate. By 
his father's will he and L. S. Ashley, of New York City, (the husband 
of an only sister of the deceased, who survives him) were constituted 
executors. The deceased declined to assume the responsibility of 
acting as such and prevailed upon a Mr. Atkinson, of Rochester, an 
old friend of the family and a lawyer by profession, to act in his 
stead. Mr. Ashley, of New York, is also a lawyer but is not in active 
practice, possibly because of sufficient income without. Hence the 
rumors put forth regarding a limitation upon the Colonel's share in 
the estate, simply to that of a periodical income were entirely without 



Seventh Generation . 803 

foundation. It is well worthy of note that this statement was only 
heard — and then only in whispers — during political campaigns. 

"The farm at Urbana being too quiet a seclusion for a man of 
the deceased's social tendencies, he exchanged the same with C. M. 
Titus for Ithaca real estate, a part of which being the present Sprague 
residence. Mr. Titus in turn disposed of the farm to J. S. Wood of 
Ithaca, who removed thither and occupies it at this writing. 

"In 1869, the deceased and wife passed the year mostly in 
Europe, returning to this country they made a trip to Europe in 1870, 
accompanied by a then prominent resident of Rochester, George R. 
Clark and his daughter. The Colonel returned to New York the 
third time, leaving the party in Algeria. Upon receiving notification 
of Mr. Clark's death he again crossed the water to bring back the 
ladies and the remains of his friend. It was while absent upon this 
mission that his barns and valuable horses in Ithaca were burned. 

"His late home is stored with mementos and curiosities gathered 
in his travels, and nothing gave him more delight than to patiently 
explain over and again the facts of their acquirement and the interest 
with which they were imbued. 

"As a host he had no equal here. 

"Coming to Ithaca for a permanent home in 1871 he was soon 
thereafter chosen Trustee (or Alderman) of the First Ward, subse- 
quently President of the Village, (equivalent to Mayor of a city). 
Last year as the Democratic candidate for State Senator he contested 
this district with Mr. Hopkins, and while the odds and majorities of 
previous campaigns demonstrated the futility of the effort at the out- 
set, yet, the immense complimentary vote extended him by this county 
attested the high regard of the people who knew him. 

"While absent in Colorado this fall attending his silver mining 
interests he was notified by wire that he had been unanimously nomi- 
nated by the Democratic Convention for Congress. This had been 
done without his knowledge. He responded declining the honor, 
however, as he found it impossible to manage a political campaign 
and his business so far separated, at one and the same time, and the 
latter imperatively demanded his presence. His position and un- 
swerving policy in such local issues as the street paving, cow law, 
park fences, hose purchases and like matters are of too recent occur- 
rence and too well known to need repetition here. Sutfice it that

time proved him correct in almost all if not every public stand taken by 
him. As time went on our people grew in recognition of his unselfish 
attempts to make a modern village of Ithaca and he grew accordingly 
in the esteem and affection of its residents. 

"Although politically opposed, we have yet to hear the first 
whisper affecting the personal integrity and ofticial rectitude of Col. 
Sprague. And great is the pleasure with which we volunteer our 
expression of the kindly and honorable traits of him who has gone 
out from among us forever. 

"The instances of his unostentatious aids would necessitate a 
record of e\ery event of any public character which has occurred 
here since first he came to Ithaca. His furnishing No. 6 engine 
company's parlors ; handing them 5500 toward purchasing their en- 
gine ; entertaining this and its visiting company in princely style at 
the Clinton House, during the Firemen's Convention, are but sam- 
ples of his royal methods of dispensing aid. His private charities — 
their extent and number — will never be known. Those who knew 
him best say confidently that no instance exists of a deserving person 
applying to him and being turned away unaideil. In fact, his great 
heart and generous soul made him doubtless the subject of many 
gross impositions. But these never soured his sunny way or preju- 
diced the cause of the next claimant. Much of the regard cherished 
for him and his memory here, is directly traceable to his open 
handedness and careful consideration for the poor and distressed. 
Many men among us are the equals in financial resources of Colonel 
Sprague, but we think none will contest this attribute with him before 
the judgment seat without being speedily non-suited. For years he 
had been a member of the Rochester Social Club, composed of the 
bankers, merchants and wealthier citizens. His invariably good 
humored face, towering form, and quiet tone were familiar and wel- 
come in New York, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester and the other 
leading cities of the State. 

"A mistaken rumor has prevailed on our streets that he was 
indisposed and went to Colorado last summer for his health. This 
erroneous statement we find even in some of our exchanges. We are 
informed by his physician and relatives that his health had not been 
better for years than at the time of his departure, and that his mis- 
sion was purely of a business nature. It cannot at this time be

ascertained whether or not he left a will ; or how great or profitable 
were his Colorado mining investments. We learn that the village 
authorities, merchants and leading citizens intend organizing, that a 
programme may be arranged for fittingly evincing the respect of 
Ithaca for the kind man and good citizen who has passed away. If 
such action has not been taken, no delay should occur in so doing. 
Ithaca has too few such men to fail in evidencing at the last sad rites 
her sincere sorrow at the loss. If such is the feeling in the commun- 
ity, what shall measure the grief at the fireside to which the terrible 
news of the afiliction came — without warning?"

Landmarks of Tompkins County, N. \'.. says of him : 

"As a resident of Ithaca for over forty years, as a public spirited 
citizen, enjoying the confidence of his fellows, as a recipient of politi- 
cal honors time and time again the highest in the town, as a member 
of the State Legislature twice re-elected, and as a gentleman univer- 
sally recognized as enterprising and honorable in all his transactions, 
the incidents of his life are very properly a part of the history of 
Tompkins County, and space awarded him is so appropriate as to need 
no apology for its allowance. 

"The life history of Mr. Titus is the history of thousands denied 
early pecuniary or even educational advantages beyond the most

ordinary, but who by force of character, energy of purpose and adher- 
ence to business rules, step to the front and occupy positions of great 
prominence before the public. 

"The father of Mr. Titus removed from Trenton, N. J., at an 
early day. and died before reaching middle age. The mother of the 
subject of this sketch was a Miss Sarah Ann Gilbert, of Jacksonville, 
whose father was a pioneer in this county, serving as a soldier in the 
\N'ar of 1S12. 

•As the father of Mr. Titus died when he was a mere child, 
stern necessity soon taught the boy he must depend on his own ex- 
ertions for success and advancement. He began his active life, 
meeting and overcoming difficulties which would have appalled and 
entirely dismayed almost any one of less self-reliance and less deter- 
mination to win a place among the workers of the world. 

••He was born at Jacksonville, in this county, on the 29th of 
December. 1832, and his education was limited to the district school, 
.md circumstances allowed him but a very brief period of time for 
even that. When a mere boy he entered a drug store at Trumans- 
burg. remaining there for a time, and establishing a character and 
reputation for efficiency and trustworthiness. Ambitious of a larger 
held, he came to Ithaca and entered the employ of Mr. H. F. Hib- 
bard, then a prominent general merchant. He soon won the confi- 
dence of his employer, and his services were highly appreciated. 

"Steady application to duties and confinement indoors told upon 
his health, and he became convinced that outdoor employment must 
be secured. A traveling salesman, exhibiting an extensive line of 
American made sewing silks of all the various shades, attracted the 
attention of .Mr. Titus, and he thought he saw therein the opportunity 
he had sought of establishing an outdoor business, becoming a sales- 
man to the trade of products of eastern silk manufacture in this and 
other slates. 

"For many years in the early fifties Mr. Titus put forth his ef- 
forts as a wholesale dealer of fancy goods with reasonable success. 
Not content to buy silks of eastern producers, he with others formed 
the firm of C. M. Titus iV Co., erected a building, introduced the best 
machinery then known, and entered upon the manufacture of silk 
threads of the higher grades and superior quality. The business was 
carried on in a building, afterwards burned, upon the site of the

present H. \'. Bostwick wood working industry. The products of the 
firm were readily absorbed by the trade in New York City, and this 
led to the expansion of the business, and a general jobbing house was 
opened there and continued until fire destroyed the stock and broke 
up the enterprise. Because of the threatening aspect of public 
affairs, Mr. Titus then engaged with Bowen, Holmes i\: Co., a leading 
dry goods house in New York City. 

"At this time, the fall of i860, thoughtful men saw in the trend 
of afifairs a great struggle must soon take place upon sectional lines, 
and, moved by patriotic motives, Mr. Titus severed his New York 
connection and started for Springfield, 111., intending to otTer his ser- 
vices to Mr. Lincoln, whom he was confident must be elected, ready 
to be assigned to any position in which he might be useful in the 
approaching crisis. Knroute to the West he reached Northern Penn- 
sylvania when the wonderful oil production just commenced, and he 
saw great opportunity for his active temperament therein. 

"He was insensibly drawn into the excitement of oil speculation, 
and became an extensive producer and operator. Selecting Oil City 
as his office point, he soon identified himself with the early history of 
that place. He was one of the promoters of the Oil City bridge, 
spanning the river there. He was also one of the organizers and a 
director in the First National Bank. He was selected at a public 
meeting of oil producers to represent their interests at Washington 
relative to the war tax upon petroleum, which mission was success- 
fully performed. 

"When but tw-enty-three years of age he purchased his present 
residence. The grounds attached were then vacant, but they now 
contain six fine dwellings. He has held Ithaca as his home all the 
years since as a boy he came from Trumansburg. Concluding to 
give up his business in Pennsylvania, and feeling that he must have 
active employment to hold him at his home, he purchased the manu- 
facturing plant for many years conducted by J. Foster Hixson. As- 
sociated with William L. Bostwick, the firm of Titus «Ii: Bostwick was 
organized, manufacturers of machinery and agricultural implements. 
This firm introduced the well known and useful implement, 'The 
Ithaca Steel Toothed Horse Rake'. . The business was very success- 
ful, and afterwards Mr. Titus disposed of his interest therein to Mr. 
George R. Williams, in order that he might devote his energies to

the improvement of what was known as the Bloodgood Tract, con- 
sisting of some 400 acres of marsh and hillsides on the south bounds 
of the village, which he ditched, drained and otherwise greatly im- 
proved. About one-half of this tract was sold to the late John 
McCiraw. Within the part retained by Mr. Titus was laid out that 
beautiful roadway known as 'Titus Avenue,' which he located, built 
and bordered with trees now grown to great size. The expense of 
this entire work was borne by the enterprising projector. 

"In this vicinity and part of the purchase are some of our finest 
streets and avenues, as well as many of the most costly and desirable 
residences in the city. The present Fair Ground lies within its borders. 
Since 1871 he has carried on a very large farm, supplying much of 
the milk consumed in Ithaca; and also farmed 500 acres of lands, 
the most prfKiuctive in the county. Through portions of these lands 
streets are .s(X)n to be laid out and fine dwellings erected thereon. 
He built the 'Titus Block' on West State Street in 1876, as well as 
many residences and business buildings, before and since. 

"The father of Mr. Titus possessed a mechanical and inventive 
temperanient and was the inventor and patentee of the device and 
manner of making lead pipe in continuous lengths. The son, inher- 
iting the inventive and mechanical temperament of the parent has 
produced and patented some valuable devices. For several years he 
has been engaged as a promoter, with others, in bringing forward and 
perfecting what is now known as the 'Peerless Type Writer'. This 
machine- is fully believed in by Mr. Titus, as destined to take the 
lead of all machines now in use. The manufacturing of it upon an 
extended scale has just begun in this city, and Mr. Titus is to receive 
a royalty upon each one produced. 

"When the railroad from Ithaca to Geneva was projected Mr. 
Kzra Cornell was deeply interested in the success of the enterprise, 
and recognizing Mr. Titus's abilities, insisted he should assume the 
responsible position of its president. Mr. Titus believing the interest 
of the road could be better secured, substituted the name of Mr. 
Thomas Hillhouse, of Geneva, that gentleman was made president, 
but soon afterwards resigned. Mr. Cornell then insisted his first 
choice should be adhered to, and Mr. Titus assumed the arduous 
duties of the position, and although almost insurmountable difficul- 
ties appeared, carried the enterprise through to successful comple-

tion. This link in the chain is a part of the through route of the 
Lehigh Valley Railroad from New \'ork to the West. 

"Deeply imbued with advanced Republican principles, Mr. Titus 
has always been active in the counsels of the party, helping to place 
the first Fremont banner in Ithaca in 1856. In addition to being 
upon the Republican electoral ticket in 1868, and his supervisorships, 
he has served three terms in the Assembly, and was unanimously 
selected as the candidate of the county for the senatorship of this 
district in 1893, but his nomination was defeated by a combination 
of delegates from the other counties. 

"Mr. Titus was married on the iith of June, 1855, to Isabella 
Johnson, youngest daughter of Ben Johnson, the ablest member of 
the bar of Tompkins County. At his comfortable residence in this 
city, graced by the presence of his wife, is dispensed hospitality of 
the highest character, crowned by dignity, and enjoyed by hosts of 
friends who feel the value of the family acquaintance and friendship. 
Mrs. Titus made an extended European tour in 1892."

History of the Dey Family. 



The Ithaca Daily Journal of Feb. i, 1902, said of him : 

"Under the title of 'An Ambassador of Christ,' there has been 
published in New York a biography of the late Rev. Montgomery 
Schuyler, D.D., who died in St. Louis in March, 1896, at the age of 
eighty-three. A graduate of Union College, he was a teacher for 
some time in the thirties in the Ithaca Academy and was also called 
to the Episcopal Church in this city in 1842. In the days of his 
youthful beauty and strength, like most popular young clerg)men, he 
'shook calls out of his sleeve,' eighteen of which are mentioned in 
the book. Tie had an open, generous, affectionate nature and is re- 
membered by a few of the aged people of this city. A portrait is 
prefixed to the volume." 



He died March 19, 1896, at St. Louis, Mo.

REV. ALEXANDER MANN 



REV. ANTmtNV .SCHUYLER. D.I". 



Seventh Generation. 815 

75600. Rev, Anthony Schuyler, D.D. (Peter.) 70276. He 
was born July 8, 1816, at Seneca, N. Y. He graduated at Hobart 
College, 1835. Trustee of Hobart College, 1860-8. President 
Alumni Association of Hobart College, 1862. Lawyer. Protestant 
Episcopal minister. Ordained in 1850. Deputy to Gen. Convention. 
He married (ist), Dec. 23, 1839. Eleanor Board Johnson. 7017 1. 
She (lied Nov. 2, 1849. He married (2nd), Mary Hall. 

At the time of his death the New York Tribune said : 

"Dr. Schuyler was descended from an old Holland family that 
settled in Albany in 1650. He was born in Geneva, N. Y.. in 1816. 
and was graduated from Geneva College, now Hobart, in 1836. He 
moved to Ithaca. N. \'., where he studied law. was admitted to the 
bar, and married .Miss Eleanor Johnson in 1839. .\fter her death, 
in 1849, he decided toenterthe ministry, and studied under the Rev. 
\V. S. Walker, of Ithaca, and was ordained deacon in 1850. He 
served a diaconate of eighteen months, when he was ordained priest 
and called to < >swego as rector of Christ Church. 

Ill iS(,2 Dr. Schuyler was called H> Christ Church, Rochester, 
where he remained till 1868, when he came to Orange as rector of 
(irace ("hur( h. Ht- married Miss Mary Allen, daughter of Henry 
Allen, of Skaneateles. in i860, and she survives him. with four sons 
and one daughter, two of the sons Ixjing by Dr. Schuyler's first 
marriage. 

"Dr. Schuyler led a singularly quiet life, although his influence 
was felt in every good work. He was a Democrat in politics, but 
voted for McKinley both in 1896 and in the late election. .Mthough 
eighty-four years of age, all his faculties were keen up to his death. 
He was beloved among his associates in the clergj- and by all classes 
in the ( )ranges. 

• The funeral will be held on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock in 
the church of which he was rector, and will be conducted by the 
Right Rev. Thomas A. Starkey, Bishop of the Diocese of Newark. 
The other appointments for the service have not yet been made. It 
IN expected that nearly all the clergy in the Diocese will be present in 
their vestments. The honorary palll>earers will be the vestry of the 
church — William M. Iranklin. Jonathan J. Broome, Jay C. Young, 
Edward N. Ashley. Charles V. Kroeh, Julius A. Boylan, Thomas S. 
P. Fitch, Josiah < ). W ard, Walter Scranton. Prank Q. Barstow. Philip

H. Patriarche and Alfred P. Boiler. The body will lie in state in the 
church on Saturday from 8 a. m. to 2 h. m., and will be taken on Sun- 
day to Geneva where the burial will take place on Monday." 

The New York World said : 

"The Rev. Dr. Anthony Schuyler died from heart failure at 
Grace Church Rectory, Orange, N. J., early yesterday morning, in 
his eighty-fifth year. He had been a man of much activity and of 
many and varied interests, and old age sat lightly upon him until the 
last. He preached last Sunday and attended a lecture the evening 
preceding his death. For the last few months it had been his custom 
to alternate with his associate rector, who is also his nephew, the 
Rev. Alexander Mann — the one who preached the evening sermon 
would preach the morning sermon on the following Sunday. When 
it came to decide who should preach the Thanksgiving sermon. Dr. 
Schuyler gently but firmly insisted that his assistant should preside 
then, giving as his reason that he had preached enough Thanksgiving 
sermons. 'But,' he added, 'I should like to preach the last sermon 
of the year and century.' 

"Dr. Schuyler was sixth in descent from Philip Pieterse Schuy- 
ler, the founder of the family in this country, who settled at Fort 
Orange, now Albany, married there in 1650, and became a Magis- 
trate and 'Captain of Foot' in the service of the West India Com- 
pany. His cousin, coeval, and life-long friend, the Rev. Dr. Mont- 
gomery Schuyler of St. Louis, died four years ago, at the age of 
eighty-two. Dr. Anthony Schuyler was born in Geneva, N. Y., July 8, 
18 1 6. He was a graduate of Geneva, now Hobart, College, of the 
class of '35. He studied law, was admitted to the Ithaca bar, and 
for ten years practiced his profession. He then felt that he had a 
calling for the ministry of the Protestant Fpiscopal Church. After the 
necessary preparatory course of study, he was ordained in 1850, and 
two years later he was called to the rectorship of Christ Church, in Os- 
wego, N. Y. In 1862 he became rector of Christ Church in Roches- 
ter, and after six years of pastoral work there he accepted a call from 
Grace Church, Orange, a charge which he held at the time of his 
death. In 1859 his alma mater conferred the degree of S.T.D. upon 
him. Since the foundation of the Diocese of Newark he had been 
Chairman of the Standing Committee on the Constitution and Can- 
ons, besides representing his Diocese in the general conventions. 



Seventh Generation. 817 

"As a pulpit orator, Dr. Schuyler was a simple and direct 
speaker and a writer of simple but unmistakably scholarly English. 
Two volumes of his sermons have been published — 'Household Reli- 
gion.' in 1887, and 'The Incarnate Word,' in 1899. 

••l)r. Schuyler was twice married. His first wife, to whom he 
was wedded in 1839, ^'^^ Mi.ss Kleanor Johnson, daughter of Ben 
Johnson of Ithaca. She died in 1849, leaving a daughter and three 
sons ; two sons are now living — C'harles H. and Montgomery Schuy- 
ler. In i860 he was married to Miss Mary Hall Allen of ( )swego, 
who survives him, with a daughter and two sons — the Rev. Hamilton 
Schuyler of Trenton and Anthony Srhuvlor Ir." 

The ( )range Chronicle said : 

T'or over thirty-two years Ur. Schuyler has been rector of Grace 
Church, and his familiar figure with its firm yet elastic walk, his 
face, with a pleasant look and smile of recognition for every one. 
seemed integral parts of the life oi the community. Kven those who 
did not know him person.illy took a pride in him as a representative 
man in the city, while to the men>l>crs of his own church and com- 
munion his passing away came with a sense of personal bereavement. 
Kvery one who knew him loved him ; during the entire time in which 
he was the rector of Grace Church there never was the suggestion of 
any friction or unpleasantness in the church, and he had not an 
enemy in the world. He has left behind him the fragrance of a con- 
sistent Christian life and a record of duty well done." 

The Orange Chronicle. 'Notes by the Way,' said : 
"Kvery one who has been privileged to enjoy the friendship, or 
even close acquaintance, of Dr. Schuyler will feel a personal loss in 
his sudden taking off. He was a man who brought the spirit of his 
religion into his daily life, who made no pretense of saintliness in his 
outward manner, but who lost no opportunity of doing something to 
help those who stooil in need, whether of spiritual or bodily help. I 
well remember when the news came of the great iire in Chicago how 
quickly he responded to the cry for help, taking, as it were, the very 
coat from his back. \'igorous. logical and direct in thought, his 
pulpit utterances always commanded the deep attention of intelligent 
congregations, while at the same time he did not preach over the 
heads of those whose intellectual attainments were more modest. In 



8i8 History of the Dey Family. 

his long sojourn among us Dr. Schuyler had endeared himself to the 
whole community, and his going out at the ripe age of over four 
score years will not only be regretted, but his life and work will leave 
an atmosphere of a noble life that will remain while memory lasts." 

The East Orange Weekly News, said : 

"Dr. Schuyler was a large man physically, and a man of large 
ways in generosity, thoughtfulness for others, and in grasp upon the 
affairs of his calling. ( )f a sunny temperament, genial and lovable 
ways, and much gentle dignity, he gathered to himself the esteem and 
affection of all who knew him. His tastes were quiet and his habits 
of life marked by the simple dignity that belonged to his sacred call- 
ing. Although his early training and practice at the bar had given a 
logical cast to his mental processes and made him a close reasoner, 
he had a lively appreciation of the laughable side of things, a keen 
sense of humor, and enjoyed a good story. His venerable and benig- 
nant presence, made familiar by his walks about the town, will be 
generally missed, and a sense of loss will visit many who are not 
members of his parish." 

A communication in The ( )range Chronicle, said : 

"For thirty -two years the Kev. Dr. Schuyler had been a promi- 
nent clerical Hgure in this community, honored and beloved by all 
who knew him. In his parish he was faithful and diligent, a pro- 
moter of peace and good-will. In his relations to his people he was 
always sympathetic and approachable. To the poor he was kind, 
humane and accessible, and he never courted the rich. Like his 
Master, he was no respecter of persons. 

"Above most clergymen he was constant and zealous in the sup- 
port of missions, and under his leadership Grace Parish was one of the 
most forward and liberal in the Episcopal Church in gifts to the mis- 
sionary work. Dr. Schuyler's loyalty to his church was steadfast and 
unquestioned, and was unaffected by any degree of narrowness. In 
his relations to Christians of other communions he was tolerant and 
friendly. In society he was affable, cordial and free from cold 
conventionalities. 

"Dr. Schuyler's sermons were distinguished by Gospel purity 
and soundness and by spiritual fervor. They ever tended to the 
edification of the believer and the awakening of the indifferent and

unrenewed in heart ; they were vigorous in thought to an uncommon 
degree and were touched with a strain of native eloquence all his 
own. They also possessed the rare quality of engaging the attention 
of the thoughtful reader when printed, as of the heart when delivered 
from the pulpit. Dr. Schuyler's energetic intellect, literary instinct, 
and grasp of spiritual truth made him a pastor-preacher who could 
not fail to edify the serious minded of his hearers. Although strong 
and clear in his convictions, he had no pride of opinion, and was 
often ready to yield to the judgment of inferior minds. 

"Throughout the life and work of Dr. Schuyler there shone a 
character humble, simple, transparent. It was, perhaps, the' artless- 
ness and simplicity of his character which induced him, after a few- 
years spent at the bar, to abandon the legal profession and give him- 
self to the Christian ministr)-. Doubtless, he shrank from the tortu- 
ous devices, the wiles and subtleties which are sonietimes found 
associated with the practice of that profession. Full of years and 
honors, this servant of (lo<l rests from his labors, and his works do 
f()llf)w him. lie sought not the applause of men and none offered 
him reproach. 

"'I'he Christian pastor, faithful and beloved : the loving father, 
husband and friend ; the luwnble follower of Christ, the gentle, guile- 
less spirit has entered into the rest that remainelh to the people of 
C>«k1. 'i"his humble tribute is laid on his tomb by one who for many 
years had the honor and the happiness to serve with him as his yoke 
fellow in the work of the church.

828 History of the Dey Family. 

The following in regard to their courtship and marriage is from 
the Ithaca Daily Journal : 

"The marriage took place yesterday at All Souls' Church, New 
York, of Mr. Charles Marston (oldest son of Alderman John Mars- 
ton, J. P., of The Oaks, Wolverhampton), and Miss Louise Isabel 
Johnson, only daughter of Mr. W. C. Johnson, of Ithaca, New York. 
The marriage was solemnized by the Rev. Dr. Schuyler, uncle of the 
bride. Mr. Marston is well known in political and commercial circles 
in Wolverhampton, and is a very popular officer of the 3d Volunteer 
Battalion South Staffordshire Regiment. All his friends will join in 
wishing him and Mrs. Marston long life and happiness. Mr. Mars- 
ton will arrive home with his bride after March 25th, and take up his 
residence at The Hightields, Penn-road, Wolverhiimpton. — Wolver- 
hampton (Kng.) News, Jan. 31. 

"The above announcement from the Wolverhampton News is 
the sequel to a very pretty romance, and as the bride in the case was 
born and brought up in this city, the particulars are interesting here, 
especially as Mrs. Marston leaves a city full of friends for her new 
home in England. 

"Five years ago last summer, she, being but a girl of fifteen, at 
our High School, went with a party made up of Dr. and Mrs. North- 
rup of New York, and her mother to Europe. They landed at (Glas- 
gow, Scotland, and spent about two months doing the British Islands, 
taking ship for home at Liverpool. The usual stop was made at 
Queenstown, Ireland, for passengers and mails, and in the hurly- 
burly of departure the party noticed especially, a young man taking 
leave of his home friends. Very soon Dr. Northrup made his ac- 
quaintance in the smoking room and ere New York was reached they 
were all the greatest friends, so much that Dr. Northrup would not 
allow him to go to a hotel, but took him to his home, and during all 
his stay in America that house was his home. It was Mr. Charles 
Marston of Wolverhampton. England, and as he was over to look 
into various of our industries, was here many months and traveled 
extensively. Meantime Miss Johnson came back to Ithaca and to 
her work in the High School. Two years later the same party went 
again to Europe, and landing at Rotterdam, Holland, they found Mr. 
Marston on the dock to greet them, and he traveled with them in 
Holland, Germany and Austria, and while in Germany the part}- re- 



Eighth Generation. 829 

ceived a most cordial invitation from Mayor and Mrs. Marston of 
Wolverhampton, to visit them before returning to America. They 
had a charming stay at Wolverhampton of about ten days, and then 
their entertainers took them for a week to their seaside home in 
Wales, not far from Liverpool, from which port they sailed. 

"In the meantime young Mr. Marston seeing that Miss Johnson 
was without a brother, tried to make the void good, and if there was 
any thought of being a lover, he kept up a thinking, but made no 
sign. Hut last winter he suddenly appeared at the home of his friends 
in New \'ork — came over to ask a question — was here for six weeks, 
and went back without an answer, as while he was held in the highest 
esteem, that one little 'yes' meant l)anishment from home and countr)-. 

"A correspondence followed and the same party again crossed 
the Atlantic this last summer, landing at Antwerp in lielgium ; and 
to show how fast Mr. Marsion was getting Americanized, as their 
ship was being warped into its dock on the bank of the Scheldt, there 
he was mounted on the head of a barrel, swinging his hat and gestic- 
ulating like a rirst class stump speaker. He journeyed with them 
through liclgium, France and into l)eautiful Switzerland, and here 
among the romantic surroundings of that lovely land. Miss Johnson 
made up her mind that such devotion was worth requitting, if at the 
cost of home and country. 

".\s a slight proof of the esteem in which the young couple are 
hekl by a large circle of friends, we would say that they have been 
almost 'snowed under" with useful, beautiful and valuable presents. "

He was born in 1758 in the village of Peekskill, N. Y. He married. 

Lossing's Cyclopedia of .American History says of him : 

"John Paulding, one of the captors of Andre, was born in 1758 
in New York; died Feb. 18, 1818, at Staatsburg. N. Y. Three 
times he was made a prisoner during the War for Independence, and 
had escaped the second time, only four days before the capture of 
Andr^. He and his associates received from Congress a silver medal 
each, and were awarded an annuity of S200. In 1827 a marble 
monument was erected by the corporation of New York City in St. 
Peter's churchyard near Peekskill as a memorial of him." 

The following documents are important to a correct judgment of 
the conduct and motives of the captors of Andre, on which even 
Jared Sparks, with less than his scrupulous regard for exact justice, 
has thrown down unmerited distrust. They were originally published 
in February and March, 181 7, immediately after the remarks of Major 
Tallmadge in Congress. John Paulding's Affidavit : 

"John Paulding, of the County of Westchester, one of the per- 
sons who took Major Andre', being duly sworn, saith that he was 
three times, during the Revolutionary War, a prisoner with the 
enemy ; the first time he was taken at the White Plains when under 
the command of Captain Requa, and carried to New York and con- 
fined in the Sugar-House. The second time he was taken near Tar-

rytown, when under the command of Lieutenant Peacock, and con- 
fined in the North Dutch Church, in New York; that both these 
times he escaped, and the last of them only four days before the cap- 
ture of Andre ; that the last time he was taken he was wounded and 
lay in the hospital in New York, and was discharged on the arrival 
of the news of peace there ; that he and his companions, VanWart 
and Williams, among other articles which they took from Major 
Andre, were his watch, horse, saddle and bridle, and which they 
retained as prize ; that they delivered over Andre, with the papers 
found on him. to Col. Jameson, who commanded on the lines; that 
shortly thereafter they were summoned to appear as witnesses at the 
headtjuarters of (leneral Washington, at Tappan ; that they were at 
Tappan some days, and examined as witnesses before the court-mar- 
tial on the trial of Smith, who brought Andre ashore from on board 
the sloop of war ; that while there Col. William (i. .Smitli redeemed 
the watch from them for thirty guineas; which, and the money re- 
ceived for the horse, saddle and bridle, they divided ecjually among 
themselves and four other |)ersons. who belonged to their party, but 
when Andre was taken, were about half a mile otT, keeping a lookout 
on a hill ; that Andre had no gold or silver money with him. but only 
some Continental bills, to the amount of about eighty dollars ; that 
the medals given to him and \'anWart and Williams, by Congress, 
were presented to then) by (leneral Washington, when the arujy was 
encamped at N'erplanck's I'oint. and that they on the occasion dined 
at his table ; that Williams removed some years ago from Westches- 
ter county to the northern part of the state, but where particularly, 
the deponent does not know. And. the deponent, referring to the 
affidavit of \'anWart. taken on the 28th of January last, and which he 
has read, says the same is in substance true.

Certificate of Inhabitants of Westchester County: 
"We, the subscribers, inhabitants of the County of Westchester, 
do certify, that during the Revolutionary War, we were well ac-

who arrested Major Andre ; and that at no time during the Revolu- 
tionary War, was any suspicion entertained by their neighbors or

acquaintances, that they or either of them held any undue intercourse 
with the enemy. On the contrary, they were universally esteemed, 
and taken to be ardent and faithful in the cause of the country. We 
further certify, that the said Paulding and Williams are not now resi- 
dent among us, but that Isaac VanWart is a respectable freeholder 
of the town of Mount Pleasant ; that we are well acquainted with 
him ; and we do not hesitate to declare our belief that there is not 
an individual in the County of Westchester, acquainted with Isaac 
VanWart, who would hesitate to describe him as a man whose integ- 
rity is as unimpeachable as his veracity is undoubted. In these 
respects no man in the County of Westchester is his superior.

"Beaufort, N. C, Feb. 18, 1902. 

"Dear Sir: — Mr. J. W. Dey, of Newark, N. J., has sent me a 
letter written by yourself to him. dated Dec. 9. 1901, with recjuest 
that 1 answer it. Mr. Dey is my brother-in-law, and as I am of this 
state, it seems to me that there are those near him who could do it 
better. My husband is Charles Pitman Dey, of New Jersey. His 
father, John Dey, now living in Newark, N. J., age 86 years. He 
was born July 26, 1S15. His parents were Joseph Dey and his wife, 
Klizabeth Laird. Joseph Dey's parents were John Dey and Anna 
Longstreet, and my understanding of it is — their home was on Staten 
Island. This is as far back as I have received information. 

"Respectfully, 

"Mrs. C. p. Dev." 

107265. William Dev. The following letters were written by 
him :

"M. E. Poole, Sir: — In reply to above will say that I do not 
consider that I can be related to families mentioned on sheet enclosed 
with above, as my father and grandfather belonged to Scotland. I 
was born in Scotland : came to this country twenty-one years ago. 

"Yours respectfully. 

-Wm. Dkv." 

"Sleepy Eve, Minn.. Feb. 7, 1902. 

"Dear Sir: — I know little or nothing of my father's ancestors. 
1 never knew any of his people. His father's name was James and 
lived as far as I understand in Aberdeen, Scotland. He died in the 
early 40's. My father died in 1874; my father's name was Robert. 
There was quite a number of Deys in and around Aberdeen. 

"Yours respectfully, 

"William Dey."

THE FAMILY IN ENGLAND. 

(From thf. Dictionakn oi Naiio.nai, Bkm.kai'Uv. Indited 

nv SiDNKv Lek.) 

"Andrew Boorde or Borde (i49o?-i549) traveller and physi- 
cian," "Andreas Parforatus," as he jocosely calls himself, was born 
at "Boord's Hill in I lolmsdayle," near Cucktield, Sussex, some time 
before or about 1490, as by 1521 he was appointed suffragan bishop 
of Chichester, and must have therefore then been thirty years old. 
He was brought up at Oxford, and was received under age — and 
consequently against their rules — into the strictest order of monks, 
the Carthusians, evidently at the London Charterhouse. Andrew 
Boorde is therefore not to be identified with his namesake (the son 
of John Boorde), the bondsman, or villein regardant — attached to the 
soil and sellable with it — of the manor of Ditchling. Sussex, whom 
Lord Abergaveny manumitted on 27 June, 1510 (Madox, Form. Aug.. 
1702, p. 420), for, if not a freeman by birth, his monkhood had made 
him one. About 15 17 he was falsely accused of being "conversant 
with women;" and in or about 152 1 was "dyspensyd with the rely- 
gyon by the byshopps of Romes bulles, to be suffrygan of Chichester; 
the whych I never dyd execute the auctore" or authority. About 
1528, after some twenty years of vegetarianism and fasting with the 
Carthusians, Boorde writes to the prior of the Hinton Charterhouse 
in Somerset, "I am nott able to byd the rugorosite off your relygon ;" 
and he accordingly gets a dispensation from this religious or monkish 
vow from Prior Batmanson, and goes over sea to study medicine. 
There he "travelled for to have the notycyon aractes of Physyke in 
duers regyons and countres. and returned into Englande" in 1530. 



The Board Family in England. 891 

He stayed with Sir Robert Drewry, attended and cured the Duke of 
Norfolk, and was by him 'connocated to wayte on his prepotent 
mageste, Henry VHI". I le desiring 'to have a trewe cognyscyon 
of the practis of Physycke" he passed "over the seas agayne, and 
dyd go to all the vnyuersities and scoles approrbated and beynge 
within the precinct of Chrystendome". ( )f these he names ( )rleans, 
Poictiers, Toulouse, and Montpelier in France, and W ittenburg in 
Germany, and he quotes the practice of surgeons in Rome, and Com- 
postella in Navarre, whither he went on pilgrimage with nine English 
and Scotchmen. By 29 May, 1534. Boorde was back at the London 
Charterhouse, and look the oath of conformity. He was then "keppt 
in thrawldom" there, and freed by Cromwell, whom he visited in 
Hampshire. Cromwell appears to have sent him abroad (on his 
third tour) to report on the state of feeling about Henry \'HI : and 
to Cromwell he writes from Bordeaux on 20 June. 1535: '"Sens 
my departyng from you, I have perlustratyd Normandy, I'rawnce, 
Gascony and Byon (Bayonne); the regyons also of Castyle, liiscay, 
Spayne, paarte of Portyvgale. and returned thorow Arogon, Nanerne, 
and now an att Burdyo.se. and few frendys Vnglond hath in theys 
partes of Europe, as Jesus, your louer knowth." The pope, emperor 
and all other Cliristian kings (save the French) were, with their peo- 
ple, set against Henry. Boorde then fell ill ; but he sent to Crom- 
well, doubtless from Spain, and with directions for their culture, "the 
seedes of reuberbe. the which come owtt off Barbary. In these 
partes ytt ys had for a grett tresure.'" This was nearly two hundred 
years before the plant was cultivated in England (1742). ( )ii his 
recover)- Boorde returned to England, and went to Scotland, whence 
he wrote to Cromwell on i April. 1536: "'I am now in Skotland, in 
a lytle vnyuersyte or study named Glasco, where I study and practyce 
physyk. for the sustentacyon off my lyuyng." He disliked the 
Scotch : "Trust yow no Skott, for they wyll yowse Hatteryng wordes ; 
and all ys falshode." "Also, it is naturelly geuen. or els it is of a 
deuellyshe dysposicion of a Scottysh man. not to loue nor fauour an 
Englishe man." After a year's stay in Scotland, Boorde came back 
to London, attending a patient in Yorkshire on his road, and saw- 
Cromwell. In London two horses were stolen from him ; and in 
1537, 13 Aug., from Cambridge, he appealed to Cromwell to get them 
back from their buyers, and also recover 53 1. owed to him by Lon-

doners, who called him "appostala. and all-to-novvght" (good for 
nothingj, and otherwise slandered him. Late in 1538, or after the 
dissolution of the religious houses in 1538, Boorde must have started 
for his longest tour abroad, and gone through Calais. Gravelines, 
Antwerp, Cologne, Cobletz, Worms, Venice, thence by ship to Rhodes 
and Joppy, and on to Jerusalem to see the Holy Sepulchre. He 
probably came back through Naples and Rome, crossed the Alps, 
and settled down for a time at his favourite university, Montpelier, 
"the nobilis vniuersite of the world for phisicions and surgions," "the 
hed vniuersite in al Europe for the practes of physycke". There, by 
1542, he had written his "Fyrst Boke of the Introduction of Knowl- 
edge" (publ. 1547?) — the first printed "Handbook of Europe" — his 
"Dyetary" (publ. 1542 ?), his "Breuyary of Health" (publ. 1547). and 
his lost "Boke of Berdes" (beards). In his "Uyetary'" lie embodied 
a little anonymous treatise ("The boke for to Lerne a man to be 
wyse, in buylding of his howse for the helth of body to holde quyet- 
ness for the helth of his soule and body. The boke for a good hus- 
bande to lerne;" Robert Wyer [London. 1540?]), which he had 
either written previously himself, or which he then stole. His "Boke 
of Berdes" (condemning them) we know only from the imperfect 
copy of an answer to it by one Barnes — "Barnes in defence of the 
Berde" or "The treatise answering the Boke of Berdes," London, 
1543 ?, in which he accuses Boorde of getting drunk at a Dutchman's 
house, and vomiting over his long beard, which stank so next morn- 
ing that he had to shave it ofif. 

Boorde was no doubt in England, when his "Dyetary" was pub- 
lished in 1542, though its dedication to the Duke of Norfolk is dated 
from Montpelier. 5 May, for Barnes says that on Boorde's return, 
evidently to London, where many patients resorted to him, he "had 
set forth iij bokes to be prynted in Fleet Strete". He probably set- 
tled at Winchester, and in 1545 published a "Pronosticacion" as he 
most likely did in earlier and later years. In 1547 he may have 
been for a time in London — a "Doctor Borde" was then the last 
tenant of the house appropriated to the master of the hospital of St. 
Giles-in-the-Fields — to see to the publication of his books, which had 
been five years in the press; the "Breuyary" (a medical treatise), its 
companion "Astronamye" ("I dyed wrett and make this boke in iiii 
dayes, and wretten with one old pen with out mendyng"), and his 
"Introduction of Knowledge," besides a second edition of his "Dye- 



The Board Family in England. S93 

tar)". Soon after this, "within this eight yere," says the Bishop of 
Winchester, Dr. John Poynet, in 1556, Boorde was proved before the 
justices "to have kept three loose women" in his chamber at Winches- 
ter, "and the harlots openly in the stretes and great churche of Win- 
chester (were) punished'. Whether for this, or some other and later 
offense, Boorde was put into the Fleet prison, in London, and there, 
on 9 April, 1549, made his will, leaving two hou.ses in Lynn (which 
Recorder Conysby had given him), tenements in Pevensey. Sussex 
(which he got on the death of his brother), and houses and chattels 
in and about Winchester. He died soon after, probably near si.xty 
years old. and his will was proved on 25 April, 1549. 

liesides the books above named, lioorde's "Itinerary of Kngland," 
or "Ferigination of Doctor Boorde" was printed by Hearne in 1735; 
his "Itinerary of Kurope." and his "Boke of Sermons" are not known 
to exist; two bits oi "Almanacs" or "Prognostications" in the British 
Museum for 1537 and i54o(?) may or may not be his. The books, 
etc., assigned to him without any evidence are : "The Merie Tales of 
the Mad Men of (iotam." "Scogins Jests" ("an idle thing unjustly 
fathered upon Dr. Boorde" says Anthony ;i Wood), "The Myluer of 
Abynton," and a jocose poem on friars. "Nos \'agabunduli '. He is 
also absurdly supposed to have been the original Merryandrew. The 
"Prom])tuarium I'hysics" and "De Indicijs urinarium," which Bale 
assigns to lioorde, may be his "Breuyary," and its second part, the 
"Extrauagantes". Besides the first Handbook of Europe, we owe to 
Boorde the first printed specimen of the Gypsy language, given in his 
description of Egypt in his "Introduction". His anticipation of 
Shakespeare in the close of passage following is well known : "English- 
men be bold, strong and mighty; the women be full of bewty, and they 
be decked gaily, they fare sumptiously ; God is serued in their churches 
deuoutly ; but treson and deceyt among them is vsed craftyly, the more 
pitie ; for yf they were true wythin themselfs, thei nede not to fere al- 
though al nacions were set against them." For his treatment of another 
of Shakespeare's topics, Englishmen's fantasticality in dress, Boorde 
made himself famous by his wood cut of an Englishman standing 
naked, with a pair of shears in one hand and a piece of cloth over 
the other arm, above the lines : — 

I am an English man, and naked I stand here, 

Musyng in my niynd what rayinent I shal were ; 

For now I wyll were this, and now I wyl were that ; 

Now I wyl were I cannot tel what

In spite of Boorde's sad slip at the end of his life, no one can 
read his racy writings without admiring and liking the cheer)', frank, 
bright, helpful, and sensible fellow who penned them.

Lineage — According to the visitation of 1684. the family of 
Boord, Borde or Board is "descended anciently from Sussex". In 7 
Henry VI. (i429),\\'illiam Borde de Badecomb (Batcomb), Somerset, 
granted certain lands at Vevelchester (Ilchester), into the Almshouse 
there, where the deeds may still be seen. In 22 Henr)- VI. (1444), 
William Borde was Echeator of Berkshire. At the end of the 15th 
century, John Borde was rector of Lymington, Somerset, in which 
office he was succeeded by Thomas, afterwards Cardinal Wolsey. 

The recorded pedigree in the College of Arms with Richard 
Boord, of Batcomb, Somerset, "descended anciently from Sussex,"

The following letter refers to the home of the Boards in England : 

"I. Austin Friars, E. C, June 15, 1885. 

"My Dear Sir: — I am quite ashamed of having left your polite 
and very interesting letter of May 19th, so long unanswered. As you 
know I was in New York, for a few days only, in May. and regret 
not having seen you when you kindly called at my hotel. Since my 
return I have hardly found the day long enough for business matters, 

"Our family is no way related to the Board family. My father 
purchased the property of I'a.xhill about 1862. 'i'he Board family, 1 
think, ended in the female line marrying some Crawford, and they 
ended also in female line, she marrying Albert Smith, the celebrated 
Alpine lecturer. The property was then sold to a Mr. Herbert 
Noyes, who mortgaged it and in '62 my father bought it of the mort- 
gagees. He sold it again in '77. just before his death as I. his only 
son, did not care about a country house so large and expensive as 
that. I will try and tind you a photograph of the original house and 
my father's additions. 

"Are you aware that one of the Boards was Andrew, Private 
Chaplain to Henry VHL, who was a great wit and from whom has 
descended the expression 'Merry Andrew' ? The house had been 
allowed to fall into terribly bad repair and the additions and stables 
and glass houses cost my father some §200,000 I I It w-as his one 
hobby and being a good antiquarian he made a lovely place of it. It 
now belongs to a Mr. Strudy, a London stock broker.

125000. Cornelius BoAKM. He came from Sussex, England 
(o. Wales), with his wife Klizabeth and two sons, James and David, 
in 1730. to discover copper mines for Lord Sterling, and settled first 
at liloomficld. Kssex Co., N. j.. and later at Hoardville. Pompton 
Township, Passaic County. X. J. lie was a civil engineer and sur- 
veyor. Cornelius Hoard, the original Hoard emigrant, came to America 
from England in the year 1730. He was sent out under the patron- 
age of Alexander Lord Sterling to search the mountains of northern 
New Jersey and southern New \ork for copper ore. He traveled up 
the Kamapo N'alley, and on one of the head waters of the Ramapo 
creek he found not copper but iron in great abundance. The place 
of this find of iron ore he named Stirling after his patron, and he 
built there a forge in the year 1730 to 1736. The first iron made in 
that part of the country was made by Cornelius Hoard, and it is abso- 
lutely certain that this first Stirling Forge was the beginning of the 
works that later made iron for cannon and balls used during the 
Revolution ; also for the great chain stretched across the Hudson at 
West Point. Original documents are deposited with the county 
clerk of the County of Orange, N. Y. These are in the shape of 
sworn evidence given at a great land line trial held in Chester in the 
year 1785, during which trial James and Joseph Board, sons of Cor- 
nelius, gave testimony from which are quoted the facts mentioned 
above as to the time and manner, etc., in which Cornelius Board 
came to America. 



9IO History of the Board Family. 

The Record of Deeds at Perth Amboy, N. J., says : 

"Cornelius Board, on lytli of Au^aist. 1732. bought 150 acres ot 
land 'at the little falls of Pisaack'. James Alexander. Surveyor 
General." 

The History of Iron in all Ages in Proceedings of the New 
Jersey Historical Society for 1891, says: 

"Cornelius Board was seeking for copper mines and bought, in 
1732, 157 acres of land, half a mile along the Passaic River, at Little 
Falls, evidently in connection with a proposed iron industry. He 
also bought in 1737 several tracts along the W'anaque and Ringwood 
rivers, evidently for the iron in them and for water power. He sold 
in 1740, to Ringwood Company — the Ogdens of Newark — 16 acres 
at Ringwood for ;{^63." 

The History of Orange County, N. \ ., by E. M. Ruttenbcr and 
L. H. Clark, says : 

"Cornelius Board and his sons owned the land in the Pompton 
Valley, consisting of some fifteen hundred acres." 

Records in office of the Secretary of State at Trenton, N. J., say : 

"Cornelius Board and Elizabeth, his wife, gave a deed April 15, 
1740, to Josiah Ogden and others of 16 acres at Ringwood. Witness, 
James Board." 

"Jonathan Davis and Joseph Bertram, trustees of Cornelius 
Board, give deed to Elizabeth Board of Ringwood, Bergen County,

The History of Orange County, N. \'., says of him : 

"His early life was spent at school, on his father's farm and in 
his father's grist mill. The year of his marriage Mr. Bull purchased 
92 acres of land of Thaddeus Seely in Blooming Grove, upon which 
he settled. He afterwards bought iiS acres of land adjoining his 
original purchase, and in 1S36 he purchased 198 acres in Blooming 
Grove. On his original purchase was an iron ore mine which, in 
1864, he sold to Peter P. Parrot, of Greenwood. N. Y. Mr. Bull fol- 
lowed agricultural pursuits during his life, and was a successful 
farmer, and an officer of the Orange County Agricultural Society. He 
was one of the original incorporators and stockholders of the Chester 
Bank, acted as its president for a short time, and was a director in 
its board from its founding until its death. He was a man of good 
judgment, and his financial abilities were acknowledged by business 
men. Mr. Bull was interested in all that pertained to the welfare of 
his town, county and state, and was looked upon as a leading citizen. 
He became a member of the Presbyterian Church of Chester in 1837, 
and his wife is (1881) one of the oldest living members of that body. 
For forty-two years he was a manager of the Orange County Bible

different times. He was for many years a Justice of the Peace, and 
was also commissioner of deeds of his town." 

At the time of his death the Closhen Democrat said : 

Me was a good citizen and a leading man, was highly respected 
and would be greatly missed in the community in which he lived."

1874, when he retired from the more active duties of Hfe. Mr. Board 
was one of the building committee of the Chester Academy in 1S42 
and was one of the board of trustees as long as the building was used 
as an academy. He sold the ground for the Presbyterian Church at 
Chester, it being a part of the Yelverton estate. He has been several 
times selected as admmistrator and e.\ecutor of estates, and his 
integrity remains unimpaired in all his business transactions. Upon 
the erection of the town of Chester he took an active part and during 
its early history was oflicially connected with it. Mr. Board is a 
plain, unassuming man, who has preferred the quiet life of a business 
man and farmer to place in politics."

The History of Orange Co., X. Y., by E. M. Ruttenber ,!t L. H. 
Clark (1881), says of him : 

"Young Heard was five years old when his mother came to 
Goshen. During his boyhood he received a good education in the 
public schools at Goshen, but early decided to live a business life. 
His uncle, Anthony Dobbin, died, leaving no children, before John

reached his majority, and thus he was looked upon by his aunt as the 
only male representative to take charge of the larm after the death of 
her husband. A portion of this farm is in the corporate limits of 
Goshen, and now forms a part of the village, upon which substantial 
residences have been built since its ownership by Mr. Heard. He 
has spent his entire life upon this farm since his first settlement there 
in 181 2, the property coming to him from his aunt and mother. In 
1877 he remodelled the old residence, adding a brick structure, and 
now has one of the most substantial and pleasant residences in 
Goshen. Although his life has been spent as a farmer, he has been 
interested and taken an active part in most local worthy enterprises 
tending to the prosperity of (ioshen and the welfare of its citizens. 
He was an influential meml^er for many years of the Board of Trus- 
tees of the Presbyterian Church, until the building of the present 
church edifice, when he resigned and has been a member of that 
church for thirty years. For several years he was a trustee of the 
Farmers' Hall Academy at (ioshen, and he has always been a pro- 
motor of educational and religious interests in the community. For 
upwards of twenty years Mr. Heard has been one of the State Loan 
Commissioners for Orange County, and his judicious investment of 
funds has reflected much credit upon himself for his integrity and 
safe counsel in tiiese business relations. In 1855 he was appointed 
by the court, with Hon. James G. Graham and Beverly Johnson, Esq., 
of Newburgh. as commissioners to assess the damages to land-owners 
by the laying out of the Short-Cut Railway in Orange County. Also, 
in 1869. with Hon. Homer A. Nelson, then Secretary of State, and 
Hon. Charles W'heaton both of Poughkeepsie, N. Y., to assess like 
damages on the Port Jervis and Monticello Railroad. Also, in 
1870-71, with Hon. S. W. Fullerton and David A. Scott, Esq., both 
of Newburgh, 10 assess like damages on the Poughkeepsie and East- 
ern Railroad in Dutchess County. Also, in 1869, with D. A. Scott, 
Esq., of Orange, and Hon. Saxton Smith of Putnam County, to 
equalize the ta.ves of Dutchess County; and also in 1869-70, he was 
appointed with D. A. Scott, Esq., and others, to assess damages by 
laying out and other street matters in Newburgh. He was Assistant 
United States Revenue Assessor, 1866-9, President of the Orange 
County Agricultural Society one term, and one of the managing mem- 
bers many years ; has been appointed by the court as commissioner

135126. Louise Winlhroj). Horn in New Orleans. Student at Barnard 
Collej^f of Columbia I'niversity. She is a member of the Society 
of I)au>ihters of the American Revolution. The New York 
Times in 1897, said of her : "Miss Louise Winthrop Koues, the 
winner of the first contest for the McLean scholarship in Ameri- 
can history, offered by the New York City chapter of the 
1 )auxhters of the .\nierican Revolution to the one of their mem- 
bers passing the best examination on the subject, has this past 
week commenced her studies at Barnard College. Miss Koues 
is descended on her father's side from John Winthrop, first 
governor of Massachusetts ; from Thomas Dudley, the second 
governor, and from Edward Hilton the elder, the 'Father of 
New Hampshire'. On her mother's side she traces her ancestry 
to Johannes de la Montague, commander-in-chief of Manhattan 
L'^land in 1654, a Huguenot ancestor ; to the DeForests, and to 
the Bogert, Bancker, Codwise, Kingsland and other early New 
York families. It was in the fascinating study of family geol- 
ogy, seeing that her family tree grew straight and true, that 
Miss Koues became specially interested in American history

and well posted in it. The examination was conducted by Prof. 
Herbert L. Osgood of Columbia University, who last June 
mailed a list of books, which would be the basis of the examin- 
ation, to each member of the chapter. Nine questions were 
asked at the examinations, which took place this month, and 
the answers, which were made in writing, were handed in at 
the end of three hours. The questions were searching, extend- 
ing far back into the history of England. Prof. Osgood has 
charge of the course of study, which is for two years, and the 
student will receive a certificate at the close if the examinations 
are successfully passed. The course is equivalent to the junior 
and senior year in the same study at Columbia. The scholar- 
ship was named for Mrs. Donald McLean, regent of the New- 
York city cha])ter of the Daughters of the .\merican Revolution, 
as it was founded at her suggestion " H:irj)er's Hazar, No*'. 19, 
1899, says : "The first successful candidate for the Mrs. Donald 
McLean scholarshij) in Aujerican history, offered by the New 
York City Chajjter of the Daughters of the American Revolu- 
tion, is Miss Louise Winlhroj) Koues. Miss Koues has always 
been a student and lover of books, and of late years she has 
devoted nmch attention to .\merican history and genealogy, and 
for this reasoji, determined to try for the new scholarship. She 
believes the way to become interested in general history is to 
study family history — the two are so closely connected. Her 
own genealogy is one to interest others as well as herself, as 
she is a lineal descendant of many notable men and women, 
tracing her line to titled and distinguished forefathers on the 
other side of the Atlantic, though it is of her early American 
progenitors that she feels proud in a quiet, modest way. On 
her father's side she is descended from Governor John W'inthrop 
first Governor of the Massachusetts Bay settlement in 1630 ; 
also from Thomas Dudley, second Governor of Massachusetts 
Bay, whose eldest son, Rev. Samuel Dudley, married the only 
daughter of Governor Winthrop. Their daughter married Ed- 
ward Hilton the elder, who is known as the 'Father of New 
Hampshire,' being the first settler in that district. Other pater- 
nal ancestors are Deput}' Governor Samuel Sj'monds and his 
noted wife, Dorothy Harlakenden, of the old English family of 
that name. On her mother's side she goes back to the first 
settlers of Manhattan Island, through the old Knickerbocker 
families of Bogert, Bancker, and Johannes de la Montaigne, a 
Huguenot of rank, who fled to Holland from the French perse- 
cution, and thence to American shores where he married Rachel 
de Forest. Among her Revolutionary ancestors are William 
Keous — who spelled the name in the old-fashioned manner — a 
graduate of Harvard, class of 1768, and a member of the Brent-

New York's "crack" regiment. He was present at the siege 
and surrender of York town, and later, when peace was de-

Grove. Mr. Howell is naturally of a retiring disposition, and. al- 
though interested in all that pertains to the welfare of his town and 
county, has never sought publicity in any way. He retains his facul- 
ties to a remarkable degree for his age, and belongs to that class of 
men that not only think but act. He is the last connecting-link be-

purchased a farm, upon which he remained a few years. In 1S55 he

substantial farm residence in 1867. This property showed to the

ance, industry and judicious management was safely classed among

farmer, to which his time and attention were entirely devoted. In- 
dustry combined with sagacity, and a thorough knowledge of his 
vocation, speedily won for him a marked success in life. Mr. Wheeler 
advanced with the age. All the modern scientific appliances which 
are instrumental in subduing the soil, and otherwise aiding the agri- 
culturist, were utilized by him. ( )n the death of his father he became 
the possessor of the ancestral estate. In politics he was a Republi- 
can. Ilr was a quiet unostentatious gentleman averse to public life,

Jesse and his son James H. own the 'Minniedale' farm, and are 
largely engaged in butter dairying for special New York trade. ( )n 
this farm Gen. Sullivan found 175 acres of corn, which he destroyed 
when he made his memorable march through the Chemung X'alley in 
1779. A few of the barn holes where the Indians buried their grain 
are yet plainly visible. ( )ne of the council-houses of the Six Nations 
was located near where the large barn is. a part of which barn was 
built by Capt. Daniel McDowell before the Indians left, forty-two of 
whom assisted him at the raising. The famous spring at which C'ap- 
tain McDowell and his Indian captors halted to rest, when he was 
being conveyed as a prisoner to Niagara in 1782, is also on this 
farm."

which left on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad today. She is a Black 
Hills miner and her name is Mary W. Board. The expedition is for 
the Copper River, where she expects to establish a colony near Osca, 
a Russian settlement. Miss Board will probably name her colony 
"Jersey," as she was born in Hoboken and has lived for many years 
at Metuchen. 

'•Miss Board has been mining for about ten years in the Black 
Hills, but stopped operations last year on account of a scarcity of 
funds. Her object in going to Klondike is to obtain sufficient means

with which to carry on somewhat extensive operations in her Black 
Hills mines. Miss Board has outfitted her expedition of men and 
women for S450 each. Her contract includes food, clothing and 
simple mining machinery for a year. She is an intrepid woman 
about forty years old, who long ago gained a reputation for locating 
quartz and placer mines. Her faith centres in the Copper River, 
which, she declares, is rich in gold. There are several trained nurses 
in Miss Board's expedition, and other women, all of whom, she says, 
are quite as plucky and determined as the men. 

''Miss Board has done the work of a lawyer in this city and New 
Jersey, although when she applied for admission to the Bar she was 
refused. She has never again asked for admission, but has prepared 
many important cases which have been heard in the courts. Her 
first trip to the Black Hills was made in the interest of a famous min- 
ing suit. She is the daughter of the late John M. Board, who refused 
the Whig nomination for President in 1855. Mr. Hf)ard was an inti- 
mate friend of Horace Greeley."

AYKR 



A ^'HI :s TT I STORY. 



This family name had a curious origin as is attested by ancient 
legend and chronicle. It came from no less a personage than Will- 
iam, the Conqueror, of Kngland. There was a battle raging and 
William had a good many of them in which he took a personal hand 
himself. In this one some mailed warrior hit him a blow on his hel- 
met and crushed it on his head and gave him great pain. His assail- 
ants were driven off and the first of his attendants to reach his side 
(juickly loosened his helmet, and relieved him of the cruel pressure 
of the iron. William asked his name. "Truelove," was the reply. 
"Thou shall be from Truelove called Eyer," said William, "for thou 
hast given me to breathe the pure air of heaven."

1635- 

160000. JOHN AvKR. He was the son of Thomas Ayer, County 
of Dorset, Kngland. He was born in 1590 in Wiltshire, England. 
He married Hannah. He came from England to Newbury, Mass., 
in i('^^. His will was proved Oct. 6, 1657. (Reg \T. 207), and in 
1692 his widow, Hannah, deeds land to son Robert, and was joined 
by children, John of Ipswich, Peter and Nathaniel of Haverhill. 
This shows conclusively that John, Sr., had a son John (not the 
Hrooklield Capt. John who was killed in 1675), who was living in 
I 792. The records show this also by giving his marriages and issue. 
Residence, Newbury, Salisbury and Haverhill, Mass.

185000. Capt. j. Jkhrkv Ayres. (Nathaniel", Richard", 
Nathaniel^ Moses*, John', Obadiah', John'.) 180001. He was born 
December 19. iSii. in Ulysses, Tompkins Co.. N. V. He married, 
in 1838 Co. 1839), by Rev. John P. Hudson. Cordelia Derby (daugh- 
ter of Reuben and Abigail Derby of Williamsport Pa.j. 

At the time of his death a Williamsport newspaper said : 

"Captain J. Jeffrey Ayres was born in the town of I'lysses, 
Tompkins County, N. \ .. December, iSii. He was married in this 
city in 1839, to Miss Cordelia Derby, daughter of Mr. Reuben Derby, 
the officiating clergyman being Rev. John P. Hudson. He resided 
in Ithaca till 1841, when he came to Williamsport to locate perma- 
nently. A complete history of his early business career in this city 
appeared in the Gazette and Bulletin in the spring of 1870. and as it 
was obtained direct from his own lips it can be relied upon as being 
strictly correct. 

"It states that as early as 1842 he commenced the sale of books 
and stationery in a building erected by Messrs. Fullmer & Slate, on 
the corner now occupied by Ulman's (^pera House, which was burned 
in 1866. In 1845, soon after the commencement of President Polk's 
administration, he was appointed postmaster, and served in that 
capacity four years. During that period he carried on his regular 
business in connection with the postoffice. On leaving the office in 
1849, he disposed of his bookstore to Mr. Flint, for the purpose of 
devoting his attention more closely to the Lycoming Mutual Insur- 
ance Company, the agency of which he had received as early as 1846. 
He was the first local agent for that company in this place, and laid 
the foundation for a permanent business, which amounted to over 
$2,000,000 insured in 1868. His connection with this company 



Eighth Generation. 985 

ceased in 1869, being superseded by Henry \V. Watson, Esq. He 
remained out of the book trade till October, 1851, when he again 
embarked in it in connection with Messrs. Anthony & Jones, and 
they carried on business in the building opposite the old United 
States Hotel, now the First National Bank building. In the course 
of time both the senior members retired, and the Captain became 
sole proprietor. His establishment rapidly grew in favor with the 
jniblic, and became a place of great resort by all those seeking the 
news and current literature of the day. Many pleasing associations 
cluster around the memory of the 'old place' under the proprietorship 
of the Captain. 

•In March, 1862. Mr. .\. 1). Lundy, his son-in-law, became asso- 
ciated witli him in business, under the firm of Ayres & Lundy. In 
1866 they purchased the property on Kast Third street, of Mr. C. B. 
Bowman, where the book store and postofHce are now located. In 
April, 18O7, the Captain was again appointed postmaster and con- 
firmed by the senate, after numerous other nominees had been 
rejected. This last appointment he held up to the commencement 
of the administration of General Grant. The Captain often face- 
tiously remarked that, notwithstanding he was a military man himself, 
having been appointed Captain of Company A. 163d Regiment New 
York Militia, as early as 1836, by Governor Marcy, when he was a 
resident of Tompkins County, such men as (ienerals Taylor and 
Grant failed to appreciate his services and removed him from office. 

"Soon after receiving his last appointment, the idea was formed 
of erecting a suitable building for a postoffice, something that the 
city stood greatly in need of. Through his energy the people of 
W'illiamsport are indebted for the present postoftice, which is ac- 
knowledged to be inferior to no other in the country, so far as con- 
venience is concerned. Since its erection the postoffices of Lock 
Haven. Scranton, Westchester and several other places have been 
modeled after his design. 

"On the first of April, 1870, Messrs. Ayres &: Lundy sold out 
their book, paper and stationery business to Mr. A. J. Weise, to give 
their entire attention to the insurance business, which was a v^ery 
extensive one. A few months later, however, they were compelled to 
resume the book and stationery business at the old stand, owing to 
Mr. Weise not being able to fulfill his promises to them. The busi-

ness was then carried on under the old tirm until a few months ago, 

when Captain Ayres retired into private life, leaving both the book 

and insurance business in the hands of his son-in-law, Mr. A. D. 

Lundy. 

"In the death of Captain J. JetYrey Ayres. W'illiamsport has lost 

one of its most worthy and highly esteemed citizens. Mr. Ayres 
was not simply an ordinary man — one that can pass away from this 
earth and not be missed by those he leaves behind him. for he was 
one of those men who strive to make themselves of some use in this 
world. He was an earnest Christian worker and as one of the trus- 
tees of the Second Presbyterian Church, this city, of which lie became 
a member February 17, 1842, by certificate from his church in Ithaca, 
N. Y., no man could have displayed better ability for the position. 
It was a 'labor of love' to him, as nothing so cheered his heart as the 
finding of an opportunity to be of some benefit to the church, either 
through work or from his purse, for he was very liberal and gave not 
grudgingly. His disposition was a cheerful one, and it was a rare 
thing to find him unprepared with a joke or some lively and enter- 
taining remarks — in fact, there were very few better and more enter- 
taining conversationalists than Captain Ayres ; he was a close reader 
and a vigilant watcher of what was transpiring at home and abroad ; 
no matter what the subject of conversation might be he seemed to 
possess sufficient knowledge of it to entitle him to a respectful hear- 
ing. In brief, Williamsport has lost a useful citizen — one whose 
absence will be missed and sincerely mourned." 

At the time of her death a W'illiamsport newspaper said : 

"Mrs. Cordelia D. Ayres, of this city, died at about 1 2 o'clock 
Saturday. Her illness was of three years' duration. Three years 
ago she was traveling in Europe and in crossing the English channel 
was seized with a severe nausea, from the effects of which she never 
entirely recovered. From that time she began to fail and her 
strength decreased gradually until finally, Saturday, her frail hold on 
mortal life was loosened and her spirit passed into eternity. She was 
about 73 years of age. 

"The deceased was, before her marriage, Miss Cordelia Derby. 
She was the daughter of Reuben and Abigail Derby, who came to 
this city from New York state in 1834. In 1838 she was married to 
Jeffrey J. Ayres. Mr. and Mrs. Ayres lived two years in Ithaca, N. 



Eighth Generation. 987 

Y., whence they returned to WiUiamsport in 1840. Mr. Ayres 
opened the first book and stationer)- store in the city, an establish- 
ment which is still in existence. He served two terms as postmaster 
of the city. Mr. Ayres died August 24. 1880. His high character, 
consistency and decided personality are pleasantly remembered by 
all the older citizens of the city. Both of Mrs. Ayres' parents died 
here. 

"Mrs. Ayres was a lady of true piety and of mental and moral 
worth. She was a useful member of the Second Presbyterian Church, 
and extended her infiuence, so far as health would permit, into the 
various charitable avenues of service for which the ladies of Williams- 
port are so well known. Only two weeks ago she was again chosen 
vice-president of the home for the friendless, a position which she 
had filled very ably several successive terms. She also gave great 
attention to Sunday .school matters and was a thorough Bible scholar, 
so much so that she was a recognized authority." 

He died .\ug. 24, 1880. She died Feb. 11, several years after 
her husband, aged about seventy-three years. Residence, \\'i!liams-

of Elmira. He and his wife were both prominent members of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church. 



988 History of the Ayres Family. 

At the time of his death the Elniira Evening Star said : 

"Of Mr. Ayres, Ausborn Towner, in his biographical sketches, 
says : 

" 'Some allusion has already been made to this citizen of Klmira, 
one of its old time merchants, his name appearing conspicuously in 
the records of the First M. E. Church, to which he has had a life 
long attachment, and of which he has always been a zealous and con- 
scientious supporter, and in the village official position that he has 
tilled with credit to himself and satisfaction to the community. His 
family name had a curious origin, as is attested by ancient legend 
and chronicle. It came from no less personage than William, the 
Conqueror, of England, himself. There was a battle raging and 
William had a good many of them in which he took a personal hand 
himself. In this one some mailed warrior hit him a blow on his hel- 
met that crushed it in on his head and gave him a great pain. His 
assailants were driven off and the first of his attendants to reach his 
side quickly loosened his helmet and relieved him of the cruel pres- 
sure of the iron. William asked his name. 'Truelove,' was the re- 
ply. 'Thou shall be from Truelove called Eyer.' said William, 'for 
thou hast given me to breathe again the pure air of heaven.' 

"Mr. Ayres' branch from the family coming down the original 
Ayr is one that can be traced back clearly and without a break for 
300 years. There was a John Ayres or Ayre, born in England in 
1590, in Wiltshire, where the seat of the original Eyre was located. 
The family there then was a large and strong one. This John Ayre 
came to America in 1636, and that same year there was born to him 
a son who was named Obediah. 

"The line is traced more than a century and the author con- 
tinues : 

" 'The last named son, Nathaniel, born in 17S7, was the father of 
Socrates Ayres, who was born in Ulysses, Tompkins County, New 
York, October 14, 18 14. The mother of Socrates Ayres was Lucretia 
Beckwith, who was born on November 7, 1792, and was married to 
Nathaniel Ayres October 28, 18 13. 

" 'Nathaniel and Lucretia Ayres, both inheriting some of the best 
blood of this country, lived and died on their farm near Trumans- 
burg, N. Y. Their son, Socrates, remained on the same place until 
he was seventeen years of age, which was in the year 1831. He was 



Eighth Generation. 989 

then apprenticed to a jeweler for a term of four years. He com- 
pleted his apprenticeship and attained his majority in the same year 
and coming to Klmira, entered upon the chosen business of his life. 
His health suffered somewhat from close attention to his affairs and 
after a year and a half in Elmira he returned to his father's farm for 
six months to recuperate. With repaired strength in the fall of 1S37 
he opened a place of business in Penn Yan, remaining there until 
August, when he once more took up his residence in Klmira, not 
again to leave it. He purchased the business of Francis Colling- 
wood. Including his apprenticeship his active business life extended 
over a period of sixty years. His place of business on the eastern 
side of the Water .street end of Lake street bridge was for thirty 
years under his control, and so conspicuous in many ways that the 
older residents of the city even now refer to the spot as 'Ayres' 
corner'. 

• 'lie was one of the earliest insurance agents that established 
that line of business in the valley, having always and retaining to 
this day companies on his list of the highest standirig.' 

•Mr. .\yres also did business on the south side of Water street 
l)eiwcen Baldwin and Lake. .About twelve years ago he located on 
West Water street near Main. 

"Mr. Ayres was politically a man of strong convictions, but 
(|uiet and never .sought public office. He was at one time treasurer 
of the village, but shrank from the contentions of elective positions. 
He was originally a Democrat, but became one of the first Republi- 
cans voting for John C. Fremont in 1856. He retained this political 
affiliation to his death. 

"The deceased was the oldest member of the First Methodist 
Church and since his coming to Klmira sixty-two years ago, has been 
connected prominently with its work. His official relations cover a 
period of many years and only with advancing age was his activity 
lessened. His co-workers were among the strong men of the past, 
such men as Dr. Hollis S. Chubbuck. Klias Huntley, William Viall, 
John K. Perry, William Foster and many another long since rewarded. 

"To the church Mr. Ayres and his faithful, devoted wife, brought 
their infant children for baptismal consecration and in them reared 
those children according to the precepts of the Holy Scriptures. Mrs. 
Houghton, their only daughter, is the wife of a prominent Methodist 



99° History of the Avrf.s Family. 

clergyman, and the Methodist church here and elsewhere has known 
the influence of this early Methodist home. When the Ayres family 
began their life in this community the church was comparatively 
primitive. But the young life of such families as that of Mr. Ayres 
wrought strength and progress in their faithful services. Those were 
the days when the wives opened their houses to the social life of the 
church and when the thimble and needle wrought in the cause. And 
the Ayres home was open to any demand and its maker and keeper 
untiring. 

"Mr. Ayres was a man of most gentle manners, quiet and refined 
in appearance and courteous to all. In prosperity or adversity, joy 
or afiliction, his bearing was marked by calmness and dignity. He 
bore with patient fortitude the losses the years brought him of friends 
and physical strength, and to the last exemplified the nature that can 
uncomplainingly endure. 

"The death of Mr. Ayres practically clo.ses a family history that 
has been interwoven with business, social, philanthropic and religious 
life in this city. His children can bear in their lives the fruits of 
such home care and instruction as they have known, but not in the 
unity of household aims as when they who were its head were here. 
Other homes, other endeavors, other service, but not the same. Yet 
the memories and influence of the past are beyond the power of death." 

The Elmira Telegram said : 

"Elmira was called upon yesterday to mourn the loss of one of 
her oldest and most respected citizens. Socrates Ayres, who for 
many years had resided at No. 320 Lake street, after a long life, 
quietly passed away at his home yesterday morning about 10 o'clock. 

"Mr. Ayres was born near Trumansburg, on his father's farm, 
in 18 1 4. He remained there until seventeen years of age, and then 
spent four years as an apprentice to a jeweler during which time he 
thoroughly learned the business of a watchmaker and jeweler. At 
the age of twenty-one he came to Elmira and embarked in his chosen 
business. After a year and a half, owing to ill health, he was forced 
to return to his father's farm, to regain his strength. Later, in the 
fall of 1837, he opened a jewelry business in Penn Yan, where he 
remained until 1844. He then came to Elmira again, and had re- 
sided here ever since. For over thirty years he conducted a good 



Eighth Generation. 991 

business at what is now the corner of Lake and Water streets, and 
including his apprenticeship, Mr. Ayres's active business life ex- 
tended over a period of sixty years. His store became so well 
known that the older residents still speak of the location as 'Ayres's 
corner". It was robbed on one or two occasions, and also injured by 
fire, but through misfortunes and reverses, Mr. Ayres kept on the 
even tenor of his way, always meeting his engagements and making 
a record for integrity and manliness unsurpassed by any citizen of 
Klmira. 

"Mr. Ayres was one of the first insurance agents in this part of 

the country, and always retained the companies of the very highest 

standing on his list. It is worthy of remark that with Mr. Ayres 

there began tlieir business life a number of young men who, if not 

eminently successful always, have shown in their business careers the 

effect of an elevated example set by their employer. Among these 

may be named Samuel H. Taylor and Henry K. Drake, the latter of 

whom while in business manifested the possession of an exquisite 

taste and judgment that if continued should have placed him at the 

head of dealers in his line. It is to be said also that Buren R. Sher- 

nian. who afterwards became governor of the state of Iowa, was an 

apprentice to Mr. Ayres in the mystery and art of the jewelers' and 

watchmakers' trade. After moving from the corner described. Mr. 

Ayres was for ten years located on the south side of Water street, 

midway between Lake and Baldwin streets, and from there, with his 

son joined with him in business, went west of Railroad avenue, 

where he remained until forced to give up active business when he 

retired, his son continuing in the business. .Mr. Ayres in 1841, 

while living in Penn \'an. was married to Miss Susan Harris, a 

(laughter of Seth Harris, of Pine Plains, who was the manufacturer 

of the famous Harris scythes. Six children were the result of their 

union. There came to Mr. and Mrs. Ayres on May 30, 1891, an event 

that seldom touches the lives of persons of this age. They celebrated 

the golden anniversary of their wedding day, and the manifestations of 

pleasure and congratulation made by their numerous friends were 

such that could have followed a half century of united lives that shed 

happiness wherever their influence fell and indicated a continuance 

of peace and contentment for the long period that are as delightful 

as they are unusual to contemplate. Mr. Ayres for more than sixty

years has been a member of the Methodist Church, sincere in his 
regard for its beUefs, conscientious in all of the observances it pre- 
scribes, bringing up his children 'in the fear and admonition of the 
Lord,' and liberal toward the support of the society that upheld the 
tenets and obligations to which he has been attached. \'ery soon 
after he came to Elmira he was made an ©facial of what has since 
become the First Methodist Church, and in one capacity or another 
he has served that organization for about fifty years. His death is a 
source of deep regret to all, though it was but the peaceful ending of 
a well-spent life." 

At the time of her death the Elmira Advertiser said : 

"A large circle of acc|uaintances will learn with feelings of regret 
and sadness of the death of Mrs. Socrates Ayres which occurred at 
her home yesterday morning. 

"This much respected woman had been for many years a resi- 
dent of the city of Elmira and had been as highly esteemed as she 
had been widely known. Just as Good Friday was dawning, death, 
an expected and not unwelcome visitant, released her waiting spirit 
and she entered into rest. She had lived for nearly four score years 
and all the long pathway of her life had been brightened by the 
sweet affections of home and friends and by that charity which decks 
with rarest beauty the quiet spots of private life. Her lengthening 
years led her not to doubt and gloom, but heavenward to the sunny 
uplands of a restful trust. Hers was the unfailing faith that shines 
amid all the natural infirmities of age and gilds with the serenest rays 
the sunset hours of life. The poet Addison sent for a friend to come 
to his beside, and see how a Christian died. It was the pious boast 
of Wesley, the founder of the sect of which Mrs. Ayres was so long a 
a prominent and useful member, that 'our people die well'. Thus 
closed this good woman's life. She bore with fortitude and resigna- 
tion the sufferings of her final illness, and saw the end approach, as 
one whose 'soul is stayed in perfect peace'. For several days she 
lay in unconsciousness, but on Sunday evening she awoke from this 
state, with faculties clearly recognizing the nearness of the other 
world, she called her family to her bedside and bade each a separate 
farewell with words of comfort and counsel — a scene beautiful and 
touching — faith triumphant in the valley of the shadow of death.

"Mrs. Susan Harris Ayres was born Oct. 19, 1815. at Pine 
Plains, Dutchess County, N. Y.. and belonged to a family of high 
distinction and social prominence in early American history. She 
married Socrates Ayres while residing in Penn Van, May 30, 1841, 
from which place she came with her husband to Elmira in 1844, 
where they have spent nearly half a centur)' in a life of domestic hap- 
piness and pleasant social relations, rich in many years, in good 
deeds, and in the love and repect of a whole community. Mrs. Ayres 
is survived by her husband. Socrates Ayres, Susan, her daughter, 
wife of Rev. Oscar A. Houghton. D.D.L. of Syracuse, William Emmet 
Ayres of Syracuse, and Frederick .S. Ayres of Klmira. her sons. To 
these immediate relatives, and other familiar friends who deeply share 
with them in their bereavement, there will not fail to go forth the 
sympathies of a wide circle of accjuaintances. For the death of Mrs. 
Ayres awakens in many a mind tender reminiscences of dear ones 
who in days long ago went in the same ways of duty and 'took sweet 
counsel together'. How true it is that the place where the living 
come nearest together is where they gather by the graves of their 
dead. 

"For nearly rtfty years, Mrs. Ayres was an active and most use- 
ful member of the First Methodist Church of this city, and was to 
the last a generous and laborious supporter of the religious and 
benevolent activities of the society. Should some future local his- 
torian describe justly the work that the Christian women of Elmira 
have done for the alleviation of sorrow and the reformation of the 
erring, and trace the pathways of domestic and churchly duties in 
which so many of them have gone on errands of mercy and love, 
what a record of faithful living would the recital make ! In such a 
history of this city, this good woman's name would merit an honored 
place. All who knew her know that her greatest desire was to make 
her life do something to lessen the evil of earth and increase its 
good. The readers of this paper know, generally, the heroic struggle 
made for years by the members of the congregation to which Mrs. 
Ayres belonged. In those struggles, the work done by the women of 
the society was such as brought their money, talents, time and ener- 
gies under constant contribution to the needs of the church. One 
generation of women put unstintingly their best powers into the ef- 
forts to save the church from financial failure. The history of that

sacrifice will never be written, but at this time ii is fitting to pay 

tribute to the untiring energy and unwearied devotion of these noble 

women, among whom, it is no disparagement to say. Mrs. Ayres was 

a trusted leader in devising and executing plans of religious activity. 

But her efforts for good were far from being limited to this field of 

usefulness. Wherever womanly work, done in womanly ways, counts 

for good her inriuence was felt. She did what she could — and that 

was much. So her name will be often on the lips and her memory 

will long be precious in the hearts of those who knew best — a devoted 

wife,, a loving mother, a kind neighbor, and a faithful Christian. The 

funeral will be held at the family residence, 320 Lake street. Monday, 

April 3, at three o'clock in the afternoon. Interment will be at the 

convenience of the family. No odor of fairest Mowers is sweeter than 

the fragrant memory of such a pure and holy life.

lector of Internal Revenue. Presidential Klector. .Member of Mis- 
souri Constitutional Convention. Judge of Platte Countv. 

.\t ilie lime of his death a Leavenworth daily newspaper said : 

"Judge Aller's devotion to duty was almost remarkable. \\ hen 
hardly able to stand alone he did not shrink from the labors of his 
official position. On Saturday morning he rode in a carriage to the 
walk leading from Fifth street to the city jail and with assistance 
walked from there to the court room. He held court, and although 
his voice was weak his decisions were clearly and concisely given. 
.\fter court he visited the office of the chief of police at headquarters 
where he received his check for December salary and before handing 
it to his son Henry, who was present, endorsed it with an apparently 
steady hand. .\ gentleman present suggested to him that it would 
be better for him to remain at home and not try to attend to his 
court duties until he got stronger. He replied that it made him feel 
stronger afterwards to get out and stir around in the open air. He 
got in his carriage shortly afterward and was taken home, accom- 
panied by his son. That was his last visit to police headquarters. 

"On Sunday afternoon Justice Johnson was requested to take 
his place on the bench on Monday, and on Monday afternoon the 
faithful police judge was dead. He passed away without apparent 
pain, surrounded by his wife and children. The sad news was soon 
spread throughout the city and many were the expressions of genuine 
sorrow and regret ; for whatever his faults, Judge Aller was generous 
and 'good-hearted' and the people thought much of him. 

"Henry M. Aller w-as born in Schuyler County, New York, in

1827, and was therefore in his 70th year. While a boy he worked 
on a farm and in a tannery. At the age of seventeen he taught 
school, and later attended Genesee College, from which he was 
graduated with the degree of A.M. After leaving college he taught 
school at Elmira and founded the Aller Academy at that place. 

"In i860 he came west and located in Platte County, Mo. He 
became president of the Pleasant Ridge College near Weston and 
took up reading the law in the office of Col. James N. Burns. 

"When the war broke out Judge Aller took sides with the Union 
cause and was appointed by President Lincoln collector of internal 
revenue. He held this position throughout the war and resigned to 
accept the position of judge of Platte County, to which he was ap- 
pointed by Gov. Fletcher. He resigned this position to engage in 
the building of the Chicago & Southwestern railroad from the Mis- 
souri river to Davenport, which is now a part of the Rock Island 
system. 

"While in Missouri he was elected to the constitutional conven- 
tion, but declined to serve, and he also declined two nominations for 
the legislature. He came to Leavenworth to live in 1871. He was 
general agent for the Rock Island road and was one of the officials 
charged with the management of the Missouri and Kansas bridge. 
He was at one time the owner and publisher of the Leavenworth 
Evening Press. 

"Judge Aller was an active Republican and during the 8o's was 
elected from Leavenworth County to the state senate and served four 
years. He once received the Republican nomination for mayor. In 
the national campaign of 1892 Judge Aller was the Republican elector 
for this district. During the last two years of Governor Humphrey's 
administration he served as police judge, and when the Republicans 
got control of the police board two years ago he was reappointed. 

"Judge Aller was a Mason. He belonged to the lodge in Weston." 

Another newspaper of the same city said : 

"Judge Aller was in his seventieth year, having been born in 
Schuyler County, N. Y., in 1827. As a youth he worked on a farm 
and in a tannery and was graduated from the Genesee College. He 
founded the Elmira Academy at Elmira, N. Y. In i860 he came 
West and located at Weston, Mo., and for several years was president

of Pleasant Ridge Academy in Platte County. He was appointed 
collector of revenue by President Lincoln and a judge of Platte 
County by Governor Fletcher. In 1871 he moved to Leavenworth 
and was agent for the Rock Island railroad. In the 8o's he was 
elected to the state senate and served four years. He was police 
judge during Governor Humphrey's administration. He was a 
Mason. His wife and two children. Mrs. Neely Todd and Henry 
Aller. survive." 

The Kansas City Times (Leavenworth correspondent) said : 

"Judge Aller came to Leavenworth nearly thirty years ago, being 
at the time connected with the sur\eying- corps of the Rock Island. 
Later he became the superintendent of the Missouri and Kansas 
bridge and the road's local agent. He had been more or less promi- 
nently identified with Republican politics in the state, and about eight 
years ago secured a survey for short' line to Denver, which, while 
practicable, could not be brought into life, owing to a failure to ob- 
tain the needed capital. Two years ago he was appointed police 
judge of this citv. He leaves a wife and two children, Mrs. N. W. 
Todd and Henry J. Aller, Jr."

pa])er said : "Henry .\ller was horn at Plea.saiit Ridge College, 
near Weston, Mo., in 1.S68, and removed with his parents to 
this city in iSji. He received his education in the pubHc 
schools of Leavenworth, and later was in the employ of the 
Rittnian Todd (irocery Company, .\fter serving several years 
with the firm he was interested with J. Stephens in the cellu- 
lose mattress business. Mr. .\ller was received in the Metho- 
dist Church in 18.S4 by the Rev. C. B. Mitchell, and was very 
po])ular in church circles, and was for several years a director 
of the Y. M. C. A. In 1890 Mr. .\ller started a mission school 
in the vicinity of the North Leavenworth coal mine, and took a 
great interest in this work and sujjported the school from his 
own purse. The death of Henry .Aller came as a shock to most 
of this community, as he was prominent in business circles and 
had a vast concourse of friends. He leaves a wife and an infant 
child, in addition to a mother and sister."

1^5073. Sue E. Died Sept. 14, 1SS2. The Leavenworth Press gives 
the following account of the runaway accident which resulted 
in her death : "The house of our Chief is enveloped by the 
pall of death, and cheeks that were all aglow with happiness 
but a few hours ago, are now blanched in the presence of death, 
while eyes that sparkled with joy, are blind with weeping. It 
was one of the criiele.st visitations of the remorseless nies.sen- 
ger — him of the hour-glass and scythe — that it has ever l)een 
our misfortune to chronicle. To gaze upon that young face, 
beautiful even in death, and to contemplate that the vital cur- 
rent that but a few short hours ago thrilled with life ami joy 
that now rigid form had ceased to How forever, makes the task 
of relating the appalling accident one of extreme cruelty. The 
details of this terrible accident were briefly as follows : Miss 
Sue AUer. one of Leavenwoith's most accomplished young 
ladies, daughter of Hon. H. M. .\ller, i)roprietor of The Press, 
and Mr. \Vm. I". Spencer, of the drug house of Spencer & Co., 
of this city, were on their way to attend the open air concert at 
the Fort. The horse they were driving, a high lifed animal, 
owned by Mr. S])encer, when about three hundred yards south 
of the bridge that spans the Narrow Gauge railway track, mid- 
way between the city and Fort, from some unknown cause, 
became frightened and dashed down the hill leading to the 
bridge at a terrible speed. When near the bottom of the hill, 
in his endeavors to control the frightened horse, Mr. Spencer 
broke the right hand line, and before he could release the strain 
on the left hand line, the horse had been pulled over to the 
west side of the bridge, through the wooden railing of which 
he crashed, taking with him to the railway track, some twenty 
feet below, the buggy and its ill-fated occupants. This occurred 
a few minutes before 8 o'clock in the evening, and no one was 
present to witness the terrible plunge over the bridge. Miss 
Aller was driven as rapidly as possible from the scene of the 
accident to her home, where all that the combined medical 
skill of Drs. Thomas, A. C. VanDuyn, S. F. Few and O. C. 
McNary could suggest, was done for the lovely sufferer, but to 
no avail, for as the clock tolled ten the angel death relieved her 
from further sufferings. She never spoke a word after the ac- 
cident and neither by motion or sign gave evidence of con- 
sciousness. Her injuries were chiefly confined to the neck and 
head. Her skull received a bad fracture, a portion of it being 
driven into the brain, which, upon being removed b}- the phy- 
sician, seemed to afford some relief to the sufferer, as she 
breathed easier and uttered a low moan, the first audible evi-

dence of life she had manifested after bein^ taken from under 
the carriaj^e. This is a terrible blow to Judge Allcr and his 
family, who all idolized Susie. She was the joy and light of 
the family circle ; intelligent and noble hearted, she was uni- 
versally esteemed and loved." The Leavenworth Times at the 
time of her death said : "The sad accident which bereft our city 
of one of its purest gems, and leaves an estimable young gen- 
tleman hovering l>etween this world and the great silent beyond, 
is yet fresh in the memory of the readers of The Times. On 
Sunday afternoon the funeral of Miss Sue li. Aller, who lost 
her life in that fatal ride, toward Fort Leavenworth, took place 
from the residence of Hon. H. >L .\ller, her father, on Pine 
street, between Third and Fourth. The sad effects of the 
accident were so far reaching into the hearts of social circles 
that the attendance was unusually large, in fact the assemblage 
was the largest ever seen at a funeral in any private family in 
the city. Rev. \V. H. Thomas preache<l the funeral sermon, 
during which he paid a high tribute to the memory of the de- 
ceased, remembering her spotless character and the void her 
absence will create among the people who appreciate the good 
that comes of little acts of kindness from a pure motive."

Mr. Grover Ayers, Jr., at the Central Baptist Church Saturday 
was largely attended, the church being crowded to its utmost 
capacity. This young man who grew up among you, the 
schoolmate in the public ami Sabbath school had a character of 
remarkable purity. There could not be found upon it a stained 
spot. There was a nobleness of character that revealed itself to 
all and cannot be forgotten. He allowed liis rijR-sl thoughts to 
go out beyond the present. There lived in him a grand, noble, 
moral courage, and his nature craved something higher than 
even a pure life, and he stood up before the congregation and 
said, 'I want to be a Christian'. Though he had n(^l connected 
himself with any church he was a Christian, and he has left his 
young gentlemen schoolmates an example that may be followed 
with safety. He was the peer of any of his associates intel- 
lectually, but he was ready to lay that intellect at the feet of 
his God. He had a noble ambition to cultivate the intellect 
that God had given him. All that has gone down with him, 
but let us hope in the life before him his highest aspirations 
will be realized. The speaker closed with a pathetic exhorta- 
tion to the relatives, friends and schoolmates of the deceased to 
follow his example of life."

190000. Rev. Oscar Allen Houc.hton. He was born May 
15, 1841, at Trenton, N. Y. He graduated at Genesee College, and 
received the degree of A.M. in 1872, and Ph.D. in 1882 from Syra- 
cuse University. He registered at college from Carthage, X. V. 
While in college he was a member of the Delta Kappa Kpsilon fra- 
ternity and the Mystic Society. He married, Sept. 1. 1869, Susan 
Ayres. 185028. Minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He 
was stationed at Wolcott, N. Y., 1869-70 ; Syracuse First Church, 
1870-2; Geddes, 1872-5; Baldwinsville. 1875-6; Ithaca State 
Street Church, 1876-7; Syracuse Centenary, 1877-80; Clyde, 
1880-3 ; Elmira Hedding Church, 1883-6. He travelled in Europe 
in 1886. He enlisted in the I'nited States Volunteer service but was 
rejected on examination. 

At the time of her death the Cortland Evening Standard said : 

"Mrs. Houghton was born July 7, 1843. She was the daughter 
of Socrates and Susan Harris Ayres. Mr. Ayres was born in Tru- 
mansburg, where his ancestors settled and where descendants of the 
family are still found. A family genealogy now in process of publi- 
cation and largely edited by Mrs. Houghton traces the family history 
in unbroken line to Wiltshire, England, 1590. The family of Susan 
Harris lived in Pine Plains. Dutchess Co. Mrs. Houghton's parents 
were married in 1841 and for the three following years lived in Penn 
Yan, N. Y., where Mrs. Houghton was born. The family moved to 
Elmira in 1844 and there Mr. Ayres established a jewelry and insur- 
ance business which he conducted for over forty years. Mrs. Hough- 
ton was educated in the public schools of Elmira and the Elmira 
College, graduating from the college in 1863 with the degree of Bach- 



Ninth Generation. 1003 

elor of Arts. She was married to Rev. Oscar A. Houghton, at that 
time pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Wolcott, N. Y., 
Sept. I. 1869. Since then Dr. Houghton has served churches as 
follows : Syracuse (First ward, and West Genesee street), Ithaca. 
Syracuse (Centenary), Clyde, Elmira (Hedding Church and also 
Centenary Church), Auburn, and North Avenue Congregational 
Church. Cambridge, Mass. 

"In all these places Mrs. Houghton was the efficient helper of 
her husband and left many sincere friends. 

"Mrs. Houghton's student abilities were well known. Her 
special field was American and English constitutional history. While 
IK'ing in Syracuse in 1893-5 she took resident postgraduate study in 
Syracuse I'niversity under Prof. \\m. II. .Mace. Her major subject 
was American constitutional history and her minor subject English 
mediaeval history. In 1895 she successfully passed oral and written 
examinations for the degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philos- 
ophy. Prior to that time she had spent several years in the study of 
French history, particularly the period of the French Revolution. 
Last June her scholastic attainments were further recognized by an 
election to the honorary society of Phi Heta Kappa. She was unable 
by reason of her failing health to present herself for initiation. 

"In 1886 Mrs. Houghton spent some time in travel and study in 
(Germany and the Netherlands.' The following year she traveled in 
England, Scotland. Wales and France, spending some time in Paris. 
In the winter of 1897 and 98 she was the travelling companion of 
Mrs. Esther B. Steele of Elmira in Me.xico and the far West, con- 
tributing in the meantime to various periodicals. She was greatly 
interested in Mexican history and became a recognized authority in 
that subject. She prepared parlor lectures on American, Mexican 
and English history, and on home missionary work as she observed 
it on the Pacific coast, which were delivered in various places, re- 
ceiving high commendations from the press, and from intelligent 
auditors. 

"Mrs. Houghton has suffered deeply in the immediate past few 
years in the loss of many family relatives, her father, mother, one 
brother, aunt and two cousins all having died within five years. She 
leaves beside her husband. Rev. O. A. Houghton, D.D., a son, Har-

Wm. E. Ayres of New York. 

"During her four years' residence of Cortland. Mrs. Houghton 
has greatly endeared herself to a large circle of friends, not only in 
her own church but in the community at large, as well. Her bright 
and vivacious manner, her cordial and genial ways, her sincerity and 
true friendliness were all calculated to win and hold friends. She 
was a charming conversationalist, and her extensive and intelligent 
reading and wide information on almost every subject made it profit- 
able as well as delightful." 

The Elmira Advertiser contained a lengthy obituary notice writ- 
ten and signed by one of Mrs. Houghton's girlhood friends in that 
city, Mrs. George Archibald. We quote some portions of this as 
follows : ■ 

"In Elmira, which was her birthplace, and her home until her 
marriage, knowledge of her death brings especial sadness. There 
remain in this city those who remember her in her bright and prom- 
ising girlhood, those who were her associates in youth and middle 
age, and some bound to her by ties of kindred. Besides these 
there are many who in later years have known the unusual quality of 
her womanhood and felt the superiority of her intellect. None of 
these but will speak of her today with a sense that something gifted 
and gracious has passed beyond. 

"Susan Ayres was born July 7, 1S43, daughter of Socrates Ayres 
and of Susan Harris, his wife. Her father was long prominent 
among Elmira's business men and was well known as a member of 
the First Methodist Church, with which he was connected not far 
from a half century. There lives in Elmira a woman who remembers 
the day when he and his w-ife, then young people but years married, 
took their babe Susan to the church altar for baptism. 

"This child was educated in the Elmira schools and was a grad- 
uate of Elmira College. In 1867. Oscar A. Houghton, a young man 
just beginning the work of ministry, supplied the First Methodist 
Church pulpit for six months. Shortly after this Susan Ayres became 
his wife. This marriage removed Mrs. Houghton from the city, yet 
she has always been a frequent visitor here, and sustained close rela- 
tions to former friends and an undiminished love for the old places. 



Ninth Generation. 1005 

Indeed her returns have seemed like those of one who, from time to 
lime, simply came to her own again. 

"Twice Dr. Houghton has been appointed to Elmira charges, 
serving a full term at Hedding Church and a year at Centenary, 
This renewed former companionships and revived former attachments. 

''Of the fulness and achievements of Mrs. Houghton's life much 
might be written. She was a woman highly endowed and with a 
capacity for development rarely equalled. Nature intended her for a 
student and so far as life allowed she became one. Her intellectual 
discernments were c|uick and true. Her patience in following their 
leadings was untiring. ( )n the day when her son and only child, 
Harris, was graduated from Syracuse University, Mrs. Houghton 
took a degree there, won by a course of study such as few women 
accomplish. To the time when the inroads of disease made applica- 
tion no longer possible, she still earnestly sought to know more of the 
things beloved evermore of scholars. 

"But not in books alone did Mrs. Houghton learn. In travel 
and in observation she delighted to add to her store of knowledge 
and the lessons she pondered were full of inspiration to those with 
whom she spoke of them. In the ripeness of her thought her desire 
turned to usefulness, and the educative plans of her future were the 
plans of one who hoped to move the thoughts of others to refining 
and uplifting etTort. These plans were broken off by death. 

"Kor about two years Mrs. Houghton has suffered from the 
illness that has ended her earthly life. Kvery known resort of medi- 
cal science failed to do more than temporarily relieve, and for a few 
months hold the disease in abeyance. Through the fluctuations of 
hope and fear she herself has been aware of the fatal possibility. 
With bright courage she looked toward life when life seemed coming 
back, with still submission toward death when she saw it sure to con- 
c|ucr. Only those who knew her well enough to know the indwelling, 
spiritual things of her soul can appreciate the experience of that 
submission. 

"It is difficult to speak of the hidden, sacred experiences of any 
mortal when death has closed the book. It is unfitting to speak 
much of them when she, of whom they are spoken, held them apart. 
What they were must be inferred from what she was. And Mrs. 
Houghton was a woman of noble soul. Bright, positive, independent

in thought and action, she held in her heart the tenderest love for her 
friends, the capacity for sacrifice and the supremest loyalty. She 
was incapable of the mean word of gossip, of insincere profession of 
any sort. 

"Honor, fealty, sweetness at the core I In the memories of 
those who loved her, thoughts of her will bring remembrance of those 
graces — hers of nature and by the blessing of spiritual attainment."

loio History of the Ayres Family. 

9, 1901. Murray E. Poole, Ithaca, N. Y. Dear Sir: — In the 
July number of the New Kngland Historic and rienealoj^ical 
Magazine is the notice over your name of the publication of 
genealogies of various names, .\mong them — .\yers — and I am 
writing to you hoping you will be able with your researches to 
make connection with my family. My great-grandfather, 
Jacob .\yers, came to this county at the close ui 1795 from 
Salisbury, N. C. I have a letter from his father Moses written 
to Jacob in 1S03 from Salisbury giving various family items, 
back of that after working seven or eight years, I am unable 
to go. I have two contracts between Wade Hampton and Jacob 
.■\yers dated 1792. I wrote to (»eiieral Hamjjton and sent copies 
of these papers. He wrote me they were signed by his grand- 
father. Now this is my line as I know it : Moses and Dorcas 
•Ayers ; Jacob and Innocent; Nathaniel and Mary Ramey ; 
Monroe and Lousiana Coburn. .My father's oldest brother 
wrote me a few years ago, {he has since died, ) that he heard his 
grandfather say, that is Jacob of above, that the .\yers came 
from New Jersey to North Carolina, and that they left land 
there if any of them wanted to go back and claim it. Two 
strong traditions I have always heard, that the family is Scotch, 
and though it is absurd, I will give it for it may help, of royal 
descent. 1 have written a great many letters to North Carolina, 
and while some of the parties to whom I applied have promised 
to help me, I have learned positively nothing. I had a contin- 
ued correspondence at one time with Mr. Geo. A. Gordon of 
Boston about my mother's family. He suggested that my 
.\yers ancestors may have come with the several hundred 
Scotch families that settled in North Carolina, refugees from 
the Stuart rebellion in Scotland of 1745. Yet my uncle David 
who was past eighty when he wrote, says the family moved to 
North Carolina from New Jersey. Now I am writing to you as 
a dernier ressorL I am not able to go down to North Carolina 
and make researches and letters sent there do no good. Hop- 
ing to hear from you, I remain very sincerely yours, Clara 
Ayers." "109 Luck .\ve. , Zanesville, Ohio, July 15. Dear 
Sir : — Yours of the nth inst. received. In giving me my 'line' 
I am sure there is a generation missing between *Moses, born 
1706, and ^Jacob. The letter I spoke of in my first, written by 
Moses to his son Jacob from Salisbury, N. C, was dated Jul}' 7, 
1803. According to that my great-great-grandfather must have 
been nearly one hundred years old, which is scarcely possible. 
He speaks of sons David, Samuel, William, Moses and wife 
Tanache and son Reyle, Merc}- and Hugh living in his neigh- 
borhood. It is the descendants of these I have tried to reach 
but have failed. I give this as affording a possible clue.

Where is that missing grandfather with their greats ? Yours, 
Ci.ARA Avers." "109 Luck Ave., Zanesville, Ohio, July 18. 
I>ear Sir : — Enclosed is a rough draft of my branch of the Ayers 
family. It is very incomplete in details because I have had so 
little communication with my father's family. To tell the 
truth I am not at all satisfied with a genealogy with a 'missing 
link". I trace my mother's family back to Roger Conant, 
'clear as a bell,' and I should like to do the same with the .\yers 
line. I was told there was a j)rominent Ayers family living in 
Danville, Va. Was advised by some one in North Carolina to 
write to Mrs. John I'enn, Regent of I). .\. R., Danville, Va., 
for infonuation, but I had written so many letters and gotten 
no infonuation I gave up discouraged. Before writing this I 
have reail over all the letters of relatives I applied to. Hvery one 
says there is a strong tradition of Scotch descent. Thu tradition 
may be the result of the early association with the Scotch 
emigrants in North Carolina. I have nothing to show that we 
are ilescendcd from the New Jersey family — only Iraililion. Do 
you want every date |>ossible.'' Very truly, Cl.xka Avers."

graduated at the University of Pennsylvania, M.D. He married 
Josephine Mellen Southwick. He became famous as a manufacturer 
of proprietary medicines and as an organizer and financier. In his 
veins ran the blood of old American families, distinguished for per- 
sonal character and active interest in public afTairs. Ayer's Almanac 
was given away by the millions of copies. A large laboratory was 
built to accommodate the growing manufacture and was expanded 
until it gave employment to nearly three hundred persons. In 1874 
he received the Republican nomination for Congress. He left a for- 
tune of twenty million dollars, lie died July 3. 1878. Residence,

Tomlinson li: Co. After three years he became a partner of Dennis 
McCarthy and in 1855 removed to Lowell. Mass., where he entered 
the firm of which his brother was the head. At the incorporation of 
the firm in 1877 ^^ ^^^ J- C. Ayer Company, he was made treasurer 
which office he resigned in 1S93. In 187 1 when the Tremoni mills 
and the Suft'olk Manufacturing Company were in a state of bank- 
ruptcy, a controlling interest was purchased by James C. and Freder- 
ick Ayer, who combined the two under the name of the Tremont & 
Suffolk mills. The company soon attained unquestioned prosperity. 
He became President of the Lowell & Andover railroad and director 
of the Keweenaw Association. In 1885 he purchased the Washing- 
ton mills, Lawrence, Mass., afterwards incorporated as the Washing- 
ton Mills Company, of which he was President the first year and has

"When the term of Daniel Haines as associate justice expired, 
it devolved upon Marcus L. Ward, then Governor of New Jersey, to 



IOI4 History of the Ayres Family. 

find a fit successor. Governor Ward was a conscientious man and 
loved his native state; so he anxiously sought for the fittest man. To 
his astonishment one or two leading lawyers to whom he tendered the 
nomination for the vacant position declined the honor ; but still more 
amazed was he when many members of the Bar named an attorney 
practicing in the small town of Belvidere as the man best equipped 
to fill the place. The Governor had never heard of this able lawyer, 
and knew nothing about him. liut this was not remarkable ; the 
chief magistrate of the State had had ver\- little to do with lawyers ; 
he knew all about soldiers, and could name, without much thought or 
any hesitation, the best fighters in the war which had just closed, for 
he had been a firm and fast friend of the boys in blue. He soon 
became satisfied that this lawyer from Helvidere, thus recognized by 
members of the Bar as fully fitted for the oftice although unknown to 
him and to fame, was the man for whom he was seeking ; and so on 
the 15th of November, 1866, David Ayres Depue was commissioned, 
after being duly nominated and confirmed, as an Associate Justice of 
the Supreme Court ; and no better nomination was ever made. 

"Judge Depue is of Huguenot descent; but when his original 
ancestor emigrated to this country, or from whence he came, cannot 
now be ascertained. A family of the name of Dupuis, which is un- 
doubtedly the original method of spelling the name, lived in the 
western part of the State, near the Delaware River, during the last 
century. About a hundred and fifty years ago, Nicholas Dupuis was 
connected with the colonial records of New Jersey. Some member 
of this family was an ancestor of Judge Depue. His father, Benja- 
min Depue, a highly respectable citizen, removed from New Jersey to 
North Bethel, Northampton County, in Pennsylvania, where the future 
judge was born in 1826. In 1840 Mr. Benjamin Depue returned to 
Warren County in New Jersey, not to the home of his ancestors, but 
made his way to Belvidere. the capitol of the county, bringing the 
future judge with him. Young Depue had a careful father, who de- 
termined that his son should receive the very best education which 
could be obtained. Accordingly he gave him the benefit of a thor- 
ough academic course, in preparation for a collegiate training. In 
pursuance of his plan, the father placed his son in Princeton College, 
where the young man graduated in 1846. In less than ten days after 
graduation, young Depue entered the office of John M. Sherrerd, 



Appendix XVIII. 1015 

tnen one of the leading lawyers of Belvidere. A very warm friend- 
ship sprang up between preceptor and student, which continued until 
the death of Mr. Sherrerd. This friendship was so strong on the 
part of the student, that his only son was named after Mr. Sherrerd. 
That boy is now a young lawyer of great promise, practicing at New- 
ark, and is Assistant U. S. District Attorney of New Jersey. 

"Judge Depue was licensed as an attorney in 1S49, and received 
his counsellor's degree in 1852. He remained for about a year after 
being licensed in Mr. Sherrerd's office; and then, following the ad- 
vice of his friend and instructor that he should become independent 
and fight his own way, opened an office in lielvidere, and soon gath- 
ered around him a circle of warm friends and admiring clients. He 
had not been idle during his clerkship, but had applied himself indus- 
triously and carefully to the study of the law. not alone as the means 
by which he was to earn his bread, but from a pure love for the 
science. After he began the practice of his profession, he did not 
allow himself to be drawn aside by the ambition of acquiring political 
honors, so common to young lawyers. He was a born lawyer, and 
delighted into delving into the abstruse principles of legal science. 
He did not study law simply to use it for the present exigency, nor 
to prepare himself for future contests, but because he loved its ab- 
stract ideas, and revelled in its metaphysics. He soon led the Bar 
in his part of the State, and became known as a highly accomplished 
lawyer, an astute counsellor, and a powerful advocate. So when in 
1866 he became an Associate Judge, he brought to the office an un- 
usual preparation for the proper performance of its duties. He did 
not seek the nomination, and could in no sense have been considered 
a candidate. In fact, he wrote to Governor Ward, when he heard 
that his name was mentioned in connection with the position, that he 
was not an applicant for the nomination. So soon as he was ap- 
pointed, he removed to Newark, where he has ever since resided. 
His circuit at first comprised the counties of Essex and Union, by far 
the most important in the State. Newark, the largest city in New 
Jersey, is in Essex ; and Elizabeth, an important town, in Union. 

"Of the characteristics of this illustrious man it is almost impos- 
sible to write and do them justice without seeming fulsome. For a 
quarter of a century he has been the Circuit Judge of Essex County. 
For a large part of that time that county has comprised all there is 



ioi6 History of the Ayres Family. 

of his circuit. Union was long since placed in that of Judge Van 
Syckel. From the first term of court held by him. Judge Depue 
fastened himself upon the affection and confidence of the people, and 
they have never swerved from their loyalty to him. They believe in 
him ; his word is law, his judgment conclusive, his opinion implicitly 
trusted ; juries have an abiding faith in his utterances. It is some- 
times amusing to watch the jurors after a wearisome trial, after law- 
yers have badgered them with their conMicting views, and the time 
comes for the judge to give his opinion of the case, and see them 
start from their listless position and become all alive. Now. they 
seem to say, we shall get at the right of it ; now we can learn what is 
our duty ; and so their eyes kindle, their faces are all aglow ; and as 
the words drop in measured tones, each strong and driven home by 
inexorable logic and con\incing argument, they clearly see what their 
duty is in the case, and what is tiie law involved. If there be one 
quality of Judge Depue's mind which is more marked than any other, 
it is his ability to set before the judgment of jurors the facts in a 
case, and apply the law in exactness to those facts. He is so cool, 
so dispassionate, so free from prejudice, so impartial, that they know 
that they will be fairly and honestly dealt with, and that they will not 
err if they follow his lead. 

"It is charged by some that he is restive in the trial of causes. 
Perhaps the charge is partially true ; but it is the impatience of gen- 
ius, chafing at the dullness of inferior minds, at the waste of time in 
the utterance of platitudes of mediocrity, or at unnecessary delay. 
He is always fair, never impatient when the case demands care and 
examination. But his quick, alert mind sees the end from the begin- 
ning, and he deplores that valuable moments should be wasted in 
delaying a result which he had already learned was inevitable. So 
his impressive 'Proceed, gentlemen I' means that it is not necessary 
to spend breath in endeavoring to postpone that which is already 
determined, or to establish that which is so easily demonstrable. 

"Judge Depue took his seat on the bench at the November term 
of the year 1866, but, of course, could take no part in delivering 
opinions, except such as were oral, and could only listen to arguments. 
His first opinion was given at the March term, 1867. It was a case 
of quo warranto, arising upon the school law of the State. The cause 
was not of any very great importance, but it received, as did every 



Appendix XVIII. 1017 

case submitted to him, a thorough and searching examination. His 
opinions are always exhaustive, and he has the faculty of ascertaining 
every point there is in a cause. 

•In 1873 his first term closed, and he was renominated by Gov- 
ernor Parker, who, although politically opposed to him, yet appre- 
ciated the importance of retaining him in the judiciary of the State. 
In 1880 he was again nominated and confirmed, and by a Democratic 
Governor. His third term expired in 1887, when he was again made 
an Associate Justice. These reappointments were just tributes to his 
impartiality, ability and integrity. He has since his appointment to 
office never swerved a hair's-breadth from the strict line of duty, by 
any consideration whatever. When on the bench he knows no friend 
nor foe, is swayed by no motive other than the earnest, overmastering 
desire to do justice to all. His keen discrimination and quick intui- 
tion enable him to discern at once what is the true path of duty, and 
he never fails to find and follow it. 

"With all his mental acquisitions, his intellectual ability, and his 
profound learning, he is a man of simple and unaffected manners, 
and is easy of access to all. no matter how poor or humble. He is a 
great reader, and delights especially in biography ; his tastes are 
scholarly and lead him to the highest order of literature. He dearly 
loves the society of friends, and will with them unbend himself, in 
his leisure moments, in humor and discussions of lighter themes than 
those connected with abstract legal principles. Two colleges in New 
Jersey have conferred the degree of LL.D. upon Judge Depue, — 
Rutgers in 1874, and Princeton in 1880."

ADDITIONS AND CURRliCTIUNS. 

The name and its synonyms : Ayres, Ayer, Ayre. Kyer. Eyre, 
etc., is not uncommon. It is found dating back to the i ith century. 
The legend concerning its origin is found in 'Thorp's Catalogue of 
the deeds of Battle Abbey." 

Legend : The first of this family was named Trulove. who was 
one of the followers of William the Concjueror at the Hattle of Hast- 
ings (1066). The Duke was flung from his horse, and his helmet 
was beaten into his face, which. Trulove observing, he pulled it olY 
and horsed him again. Duke William told him : "Thou shalt here- 
after instead of Trulove be called P'.yre (or Air; because thou hast 
given me the air I breathe." After the battle the Duke found him 
severely wounded, his leg and thigh having been struck off. He 
gave him lands in Derby, a coat-of-arms — the leg and thigh in armor 
cut off — and an honorary badge yet worn by all the Eyres in England. 
Arms : Argent on a chevron sable, three quarter-foils, or. Crest : 
An armored leg couped at thigh erect per pole. Motto : Lacte aere 
fiorent.

L. A. Coolidge in Ainslee's Magazine for December, 1901, says 
of him : 



1 042 History of the Treman Family. 

"If one hundred American citizens were to be asked to name 
the most InHuential man in Congress, ninety-nine of them would reply 
off-hand, ''I'he Speaker of the House of Representatives' — and they 
would be wrong. If by the most influential man in Congress is 
meant the one who accomplishes the most, who has most to do with 
shaping legislation, whose support of any particular measure is of 
greatest value — the man who comes nearest to meeting the definition 
is Nelson W. Aldrich, a United States Senator from Rhode Island. 
The Speaker of the House is powerful ; at his own end of the capitol 
his supremacy is unchallenged ; but Aldrich is greater than he. Al- 
drich can handle the Senate. 

"Outside of Washington not many people know very much about 
Aldrich. There are a dozen Senators, at least, whose names are 
more familiar. Frye and Hale, Hoar and Lodge, Hawley, Piatt, 
Depew, Allison, Foraker, Klkins, Spooner, Quay, Mark Hanna — any 
one of these is better known, and yet any one of them will yield to 
Aldrich in knowledge of what can be done in the Senate and how to 
do it. If 1 want to put a bill through Congress,' said one of them, 
'I had rather talk with Aldrich than with any other ten.' 

"Fight or ten years ago an election of Senator was pending in 
Illinois. The Democrats in state convention had nominated John 
M. Palmer as their candidate. Palmer was an old war horse sur- 
rounded with all the traditions and sentiment of his party. Certain 
Republicans thought it would be a fine thing if they were to oppose 
him with Uncle Dick Oglesby, likewise an old war horse surrounded 
with traditions and sentiment, and a representative was sent to talk 
with Uncle Dick about it. Oglesby objected. "John and I have had 
our day,' he said. 'We were all right years ago, but times have 
changed. Fither one of us would be out of place in the Senate. A 
man to succeed there now has to be a specialist. Suppose John is 
elected ; he goes to Washington and a tariff bill comes up. He can 
make a great speech on the tariff. It is a matter of principle with 
him, and he will wax eloquent on the iniquity of protection and the 
advantages of a tariff for revenue. If he were to make the same 
speech out here on the prairies it would set them afire. The old 
settlers would take his word for gospel and think he knew all about 
it. It would be the same with me if I were to talk on the other side. 
I could discuss the tariff as I would discuss the Christian religion. 



Sixth Generation. 1043 

But I have never studied the details of it, and neither has he. John 
will get up and deliver his oration, and then that little fellow Aldrich 
on the other side will ask him something about schedules. He will 
ask him about the duty on steel rails, or tinplate, or sugar, or nails, 
or something of that kind, and John won't know what to say. He 
never heard of a schedule in his life, and he won't be in it. All his 
fine sentiments will be just so much wind. He is too old to learn 
new tricks, and so am I. The man who succeeds in the Senate 
nowadays is the one who has studied the details of a question.' So 
I'ncle Dick refused to stand. Palmer was elected, and the result 
was just what I'ncle Dick had foretold. 

"The incident illustrates how Aldrich has gained his hold. He 
is a specialist. He knows the tariff from A to Z, and there is no 
other man in either branch of Congress, now that Dingley is dead, 
who can compare with him. There is no questioii vitally affecting 
business interests in which .\ldrich is not equally at home. He is a 
business man, and the great industries of the country have learned to 
look upon him as their special representative. And, after all, the 
great mass of really important legislation has to do with business. 

"For twenty years the Senate has been gaining on the House. It 
has seized one advantage after another until it has things about its 
own way. Its limited membership and unlimited debate give indi- 
vidual Senators free play. The House has grown so big that it has 
been compelled to cut off debate and put arbitrary power in the 
hands of the Speaker. It has to act promptly as a unit if it is to act 
at all. ( )n cjuestions of legislation where serious differences arise 
with the Senate it frequently has to take a measure or reject it just 
as it stands. It originates legislation. It sends a bill over to the 
Senate and the Senate amends it. It is in the power of a small group 
of Senators, and sometimes at the close of a session, in the power of 
a single Senator, to prevent the passage of any bill. There are times 
when any Senator with a small following, by threatening long debate, 
can compel amendments which are satisfactory to him. A measure, 
thus amended so as to insure the support of a majority of the Senate, 
goes back to the House where it originated. If it is a measure in- 
volving party policy the house has to take it or else run the risk of 
sending it back to the Senate again with amendments that will arouse 
limitless discussion imperiling its fate. In nine cases out of ten the 



I044 History of the Tremax Family. 

House, under protest, will accept the Senate amendments rather than 
run the risk of defeating the bill altogether, and right here is where 
a master of legislation like Aldrich has his power. Having secured 
the kind of a bill he wants in the Senate he convinces the House that 
it must take that or nothing. 

"When Aldrich first came to Washington as a member of the 
House he was a wholesale grocer in Providence. That was in 1879. 
and he had served his apprenticeship in politics as President of the 
Providence Common Council, and Speaker for one year of the House 
of Representatives of the Rhode Island General Assembly. His 
reputation was that of a good business man who had shown political 
aptitude, and he did very little in the House to increase it one way 
or the other. He was recognized as a level-headed member who 
would make a very sensible representative as representatives go. It 
was a Democratic House, with Sam Randall as Speaker, and they 
put Aldrich at the foot of the committee on the District of Columbia. 
He was reelected to the Forty-seventh Congress, but before he took 
his seat again he had been chosen to the Senate as the successor to Gen- 
eral Burnside ; his legislative experience has been acquired almost ex- 
clusively in the body of which he is now the most influential member, 

"The Senate, when Aldrich entered it, was evenly divided politi- 
cally, and David Davis was president pro tem. The leader of the 
Republican side was George F. Edmunds, of Vermont, a man almost 
the exact opposite of Aldrich in everything that goes to make up a 
legislative leader. Edmunds was a great lawyer, a keen debater, a 
master of incisive English, with a mind like a surgeon's scalpel. Of 
politics in the ordinary sense he knew nothing. He could no more 
have railroaded a complicated tariff bill through the Senate than he 
could have handled a Tammany district in New York. He knew 
nothing about managing men or combining interests. And yet by 
sheer acuteness of intellect and mastery of legislative problems Ed- 
munds dominated the Republicans in the Senate for many years. 
His leadership was unchallenged until there came a new order of 
things with the forcing of the tariff question to the front when Grover 
Cleveland sent in his famous message. Edmunds was chairman of 
the Committee on Judiciary and the leading member of the Commit- 
tee on Foreign Relations — the two committees of the Senate in which 
Aldrich would probably find himself least at home. 



Sixth Generation. 1045 

"When Aldrich entered the Senate the tariff question was just 
beginning to assume an important place in legislation. The Tariff 
Commission which framed the tariff of 1883 was at work and mem- 
bers of Congress were talking about schedules and duties. Aldrich 
as a business man representing an important manufacturing state was 
appointed to a place on the Committee on Finance, with which he 
has remained ever since, and of which he is now the chairman. He 
had already begun to study financial questions, and before long it 
was clear that the new Senator was going to devote himself to that 
side of legislation, and to that alone. It probably never occurred to 
him at that time that through that means he was destined to grow 
into the position of leadership. He was interested chiefly in looking 
out for the industries of his own state, and in order to do that effect- 
ively he found it necessary to study closely all the conditions which 
would affect them. There are not many men in public life who are 
willing to give themselves up to that kind of work, but Aldrich was 
not only willing to do it — he was enamored of the task. He kept at 
it until he knew to a nicety just how any one of the industries in 
which he was especially interested would be affected by an increase 
or reduction in duties, just what proportion of profit rested in ad 
valorem or specific, just what relation one industr)- bore to another. 
Then he went further. He read all the books he could find on 
political economy and the theories of finance. There is probably no 
man in Congress who has read more thoroughly or understandingly 
than he. His library on financial topics is one of the most complete 
in the United States. 

"When a man masters any particular subject those who have 
devoted less time to it are very apt to let him have his own way in 
everything relating to it where their own individual interests do not 
happen to be at stake. Other Senators had schemes of their own to 
look after. Each one was hunting what seemed to him to be bigger 
game. And so they began to look to Aldrich to settle questions of 
detail relating to the tariff'. On the first Committee on Finance of 
which he was a member were Justin Morrill of Vermont, John Sher- 
man of Ohio, Thomas W. Ferry of Michigan, John P. Jones of 
Nevada, and William B. Allison of Iowa. Morrill knew about the 
tariff and was regarded as the father of Protection ; but he was more 
interested in the theory than in the details. Sherman was a master 



1046 History of the Treman Family. 

of finance, and of the laws of exchange — the greatest tinancier who 
had sat in the Senate in a generation. But the schedules of the 
tarifif bill wearied him. He was a statesman of the old school, of 
political ambition — always looking towards the presidency which 
he never reached. Ferry was nearing the end of his political career. 
Jones of Nevada cared little except for silver and the currency. Allison 
was chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, which in itself 
was enough to occupy the time of any Senator. Aldrich was the 
only one of the lot who devoted himself to the tariff with its infinite 
details, and who was willing to sacrifice everything else for that. It 
has been much the same with every succeeding finance committee of 
which he has been a member. When the Mills bill came over from 
the House of Representatives in 1888 .\ldrich was the only Republican 
in the Senate who could devote his entire time to its consideration. 
When the Senate committee decided to frame a Republican substitute 
on Protection lines, Aldrich was there to watch every schedule and 
figure on every dutj . lie was a member of the sub-committee to 
frame the bill, and the other members came very near letting him 
have his own way. That was really the first demonstration of 
Aldrich's leadership in the Senate. It came about so (juietly that 
most people were unconscious of it. Indeed, it was not until two 
years later that the Senate aroused fully to the realization that he 
had become the master-mind in dealing with the question which was 
then the dividing issue between parties. When the Republicans 
came into power in the Fifty-first Congress the great problem they 
had before them was to frame a tariff bill. McKinley was chairman 
of the Ways and Means Committee in the House. He was the spec- 
tacular champion of Protection, and his name was synonymous with 
the protective theory. The committee of which he was the head 
framed a tariff bill after many hearings and after much travail which 
was known as the McKinley bill, and which was sent to the Senate 
late in May. In the Senate the Finance Committee took hold of it 
and proceeded to do with it as they saw fit. The work of revision 
was given to a sub-committee of which Aldrich was a member, and it 
was Aldrich who figured on the schedules and decided what changes 
ought to be made. The other members had their suggestions with 
regard to industries in which they were especially interested ; but 
Aldrich was interested in all industries, and it was easy for them to 



Sixth Generation. 1047 

let him have his way. When the bill went back to the House there 
was hardly a schedule which did not bear his mark, and when the 
bill finally became a law it would more appropriately have borne his 
name than McKinlev's. What was true of the McKinley bill in 1890, 
was true also of the Dingley bill in 1896. and strange to say, it was 
true, in a measure, of the Democratic Wilson-Gorman bill of 1894, 
for the most striking feature of Aldrich's leadership is that it is almost 
as effective on the Democratic side of the Senate as on his own. In 
all the history of Congress there has never been another man who 
had his genius for managing political opponents as well as political 
friends. 

"It has often been said of the Senate in jest that it is a rich 
man's club. So far as the rich men are concerned, this is not a very 
happy description, for there are not many men of wealth in the north 
wing of the Capitol. But nobody can understand the Senate very 
well who does not appreciate the fact that it has many of the charac- 
teristics of a club. With a few conspicuous exceptions, Senators are 
on good terms with one another. There is a spirit of good-fellowship 
among them, and, politics aside, there is the basis for a common un- 
derstanding. It would be easy to recall many instances of firm 
friendship between men on opposite sides of the aisle. Conkling and 
Thurman, Vest and (Juay, Chandler and Tillman, Frye and (iorman 
are cases in point. Where personal relations are so close it is not 
strange that party differences should occasionally be found not strong 
enough to prevent harmony of action on measures which are not of 
obvious party importance. 

"It is generally possible for any Senator who is recognized as a 
good fellow to do business on the other side of the chamber when it 
comes to minor questions in which he has something personally at 
stake. Hearing this in mind it is not so difficult as it might otherwise 
be to understand how it has come about that a man like Aldrich has 
been able to establish relations on the Democratic side which work 
frequently to Republican advantage. 

"Aldrich is a master of all the higher arts of the politician. He 
understands people and motives better than any other man in Con- 
gress. He appreciates intuitively where personal interests lie, and 
he knows how to combine them. There are half a dozen of the most 
inriuential Senators on the Democratic side with whom Aldrich can 



1048 History of the Treman Family. 

always talk understandingly. When Gorman was in the Senate and 
was the master-mind on his side of the chamber, it was always easy 
for the two men to get together, for they had many (jvialities in com- 
mon — with this marked difference, that Gorman had political ambi- 
tions for himself, while Aldrich apparently has none. That is how 
it happened that Aldrich had so much to say about the tinai shape 
which should be assumed by the Wilson-Gorman tariff act. The 
history of that act illustrates the possibilities of level-headed leader- 
ship in the Senate. The bill was framed in the House, where it had 
to originate, on the basis of a tariff for revenue only, and was about 
as impractical a measure as ever got a standing in Congress. When 
it reached the Senate it ran up against a lot of hard-hearted politi- 
cians and business men who cared nothing for theories. Gorman, on 
the Democratic side, had as little use for Wilson's vagaries as any one 
of his Republican associates. He did not know very much about 
details of the tariff, but he knew in a general way what he wanted to 
get, and lie was very glad indeed to have the assistance of Aldrich's 
technical knowledge when he came to the task of putting his ideas 
into shape. It is hardly a secret that the cotton schedule in the 
W^ilson-Gorman act was dictated by Aldrich almost word for word, 
and there were many other schedules about whicii he and other Re- 
publicans had a great deal to say. The Senate was not overwhelm- 
ingly Democratic at that time, and the wishes of individual Senators 
had to be consulted in order to get enough votes to pass any bill 
whatever. When the bill went back to the House it was barely 
recognized by its original framers ; but there was nothing they could 
do about it. The session was nearing its close, an election was com- 
ing on. For a Democratic Congress elected on the tariff issue to 
have adjourned without passing some kind of a tariff bill would have 
been a confession of inefficiency which was not to be thought of. 
To send the bill back to the Senate meant its defeat. In despera- 
tion, the Democratic House adopted the Senate bill without the cross- 
ing of a / or the dotting of an /, marked by "perfidy and dishonor" 
though thev believed it to be. That was an occasion where a few 
cool heads in the Senate proved more than equal to the President and 
the House combined, and Aldrich, Republican though he was, is en- 
titled to a great share of the credit. 

"What Aldrich did with a Democratic Senate on this great ques- 



Sixth Generation. 1049 

tion of party policy he is constantly doing with the Democratic 
minority in a Republican Senate on all sorts of questions which have 
a business side. He is not a man who establishes intimate friend- 
ships either among his party associates or his party opponents, but 
he is on good terms with everybody, and apparently deals with frank 
confidence with everybody. One great secret of his success is that 
he cares nothing for personal distinction. He is entirely satisfied 
with his position in the Senate. It is a matter of inditTerence to 
him whether his name figures in the newspapers or not. He is not 
looking for anything in a political way beyond what he already has. 
So long as he can get substantially what he wants mto a bill he 
does not care what name it goes by. The McKinley bill, the 
Dingley bill, the Hanna or Frye bill, are all one to him so long as he 
has something to say about their contents. He is not figuring on the 
presidency or looking forward to a place in history. He never seeks 
the center of the stage and cares nothing for the limelight. Thus 
one powerful cause for jealousy and suspicion on the part of his asso- 
ciates is altogether lacking. He is probably the only man in the 
Senate of whom this can be said, for even the best of them have 
their vanities and ambitions. 

"Aldrich has never found it necessar}' to attach himself to any 
faction in his own party, and he has never depended in any way upon 
his relations with the administration. He has never been one of 
th(»>c who frequented the White House. He is independent of Presi- 
dt-nts. He has never been in need of federal patronage whether in 
his own state or to advance his schemes in the Senate. He is sure 
of Rhode Island anyway so long as he cares to remain in Congress, 
and he has other means than administration inHuence to further his 
legislative projects. McKinley wanted him to be Secretary of the 
Treasury, but Aldrich declined with thanks, without giving it a sec- 
ond thought. All he wants politically is to remain in the Senate. He 
has never figured in national conventions, and, so far as can be seen, 
has never taken part in the manipulations for the nomination of a 
President. He has no aspirations to shine as an orator. When he 
makes a speech in the Senate it is on some dry financial subject and 
its sole purpose is to supply his side with ammunition. He never 
jumps into a rough-and-tumble debate, but he has a way of asking 
questions, or making statements, which are disconcerting to the other

side. He is quite ready to let others have all the spectacular advan- 
tages. The idea of playing to the galleries never entered his mind. 
He never bustles about his work. When a measure is on in which 
he is interested he moves around quietly and easily, talking with this 
man and that, finding out just what everybody wants and just what 
everybody insists on or is willing to concede. He never burrows or 
accomplishes his end by stealth. Everything with him is frank and 
above-board. He never assumes an air of mystery, and yet it is a 
standing mystery how he manages to accomplish so much with so 
little elTort. He is always accessible, always good natured. and al- 
ways ready to talk with apparent sincerity and freedom. 

"When Aldrich came to Washington twenty years ago he was a 
comparatively poor man with a large family. Today he is reputed to 
be several times a millionaire. The foundation of his fortune was 
laid in consolidating the street railways of Providence, which he still 
controls. Through the associations which he formed in that transac- 
tion with men of capital he has been able to accumulate a great deal 
of money. Hut it is characteristic of Aldrich that although he has 
become wealthy his habits of life are as plain and unassuming as they 
always were. He has never set up an establishment in Washington. 
Occasionally he has occupied a rented house, but of late years he has 
always lived at the Arlington Hotel when Congress was in session, 
while his family have preferred to live quietly in Providence. He 
has five sons and three daughters, but none of them has ever cared 
for the society of the capital. He dines out a great deal and is so- 
ciably inclined, but his tastes are simple. He cares nothing for the 
usual recreations of men of great wealth. He has never owned a 
yacht or a fast horse. His only recreation has been in occasional 
trips abroad. A few years ago he bought several farms at Warwick 
Neck on Narragansett Bay, a few miles from Providence, and he is 
gradually transforming them into a summer home. In time he will 
have an estate there which will rival the greatest estates along the 
New England coast, but meanwhile he lives in one of the comfortable 
old farmhouses as simply and plainly as if that were all he had in the 
world. It was in this old farmhouse, which will be torn down before 
long, that the v.edding of his second daughter and John D. Rocke- 
feller, Jr., took place a few weeks ago. Stories of the princely elab- 
orateness of that afifair had their origin in the imagination of the 
newspaper men.

"In personal appearance Aldrich is one of the handsomest men 
in public life. He has a well-knit frame. His finely cut face beams 
with good humor. Twenty years ago when he came to the House 
his hair was wavy and jet black, which gave him a striking appear- 
ance. Now it is rather sparse and gray, and the mustache is gray. 
But in spite of that he is lithe and agile as a boy. He is a good type 
of the successful business man who has brushed up against all sorts 
of people and knows how to live — a man of the world, not over-bur- 
dened with sentiment, and not worr^'ing about other people's ills."

215800. Hon. Lyman Tre.main. 5440. The following is 
taken from a memoir of him : 

"Lyman Tremain was born in the town of Durham, and county 
of Greene, in this State, on the fourteenth day of June, 18 19. His 
father was Levi Tremain, who. with his wife, came to Durham from 
Berkshire county, Massachusetts, in the year 1812, and remained at 
Durham up to the close of his life. The grandfather of Lyman, Na- 
thaniel Tremain, was a Revolutionary soldier, who died in Pittsfield, 
Massachusetts, many years ago. Lyman first attended the schools 
of his native town, and subsequently became a student at the Kinder- 
hook academy, an institution which was, at that time, one of the most 
flourishing of the select schools of the State. It was here that his 
capacity as a speaker became noticeable, and at the age of fourteen 
he delivered at the academy an original speech which was the subject 
of very complimentary remarks by the audience that heard it. He 



Seventh Generation . 1053 

left school soon after, and at the age of fifteen entered the law office, 
in Durham, of John O'lirien, as a student at law. Here, for some 
years, he worked most industriously, aiming to become a sound and 
learned lawyer, and feeling that, however he might have been endowed 
by nature with original ability, no man ever became a great lawyer 
without a most intense devotion to his profession, and a thorough 
knowledge of the fundamental principles upon which the law is based. 
Appreciating fully these facts, young Tremain. earnestly, zealously, 
earlv and late, with his whole heart and mind bound up in the object 
of his life, studied law. In addition to study, he aided his principal 
in the many things that a quick and intelligent clerk can do in the 
office of a practicing lawyer in the country. And, in addition, he 
tried many causes in justices' courts in the surrounding country, and 
exhibited, in those early contests, the fertility of resource, the readi- 
ness and quickness with which he brought his knowledge to bear 
upon (juestions as they arose, which, in after life, on wider fields and 
in the most important cases, were such marked characteristics. 
What he learned, he learned thoroughly, so that he knew it all through 
and through, and never skinuncd over a principle of law, but studied 
it until he was master of the reasons for its existence and the argu- 
ments, if any, by which it might be assailed. This manner of study- 
ing his profession he kept up while he was in the office of Mr. 
( )'Hrien. He left there shortly before he was admitted, and entered 
the office of Samuel Sherwood, Ksq., of New York, where he re- 
mained a short time, when, in 1840, he was admitted to the Bar as 
an attorney of the Supreme Court, the degree of counselor at law 
coming later. He went back to Durham and formed a partnership 
with Mr. (J'Brien, in whose office he had studied. His own practice 
soon became lucrative and extensive, and reached into the adjoining 
counties of Albany. Schoharie. Columbia and Ulster. He remained 
in Durham, engrossed in the practice of his profession, until he came 
to Albany, in the year 1853. 

"During these busy years at Durham, the young lawyer had 
achieved such a reputation for ability, industry and integrity, that he 
stood, at the time he left Durham, in the very front rank of the Bar 
in his county. In February, 1846, he was unanimously appointed 
District Attorney of Greene county by the judges of the Court of 
Common Pleas. During the brief time in which he held that office, 



I054 History of the Tremax Family. 

an unusual amount of important criminal business fell upon him to 
dispose of. Several trials for murder took place, and in all of them 
he showed entire familiarity with the facts, an intimate knowledge 
of the law, including that relating to evidence, and a readiness to find 
the weak point in a witness or an antagonist that enabled him to make 
the most he could out of either. During these years he was a warm 
Democrat. In 1847 he was nominated for the office of County Judge 
by that wing of the Democratic party then known as the "Hunker" 
wing. It was at a time when the bitterest animosity existed between 
the Hunkers and the Barnburners tliroughout the State. In this 
election, in Greene county there were three candidates for County 
Judge, one from each of the two wings of the Democratic party and 
one from the Whig party. The contest on the part of Mr. Tremain 
with his party divided, seemed almost a forlorn hope, yet such was 
his general popularity and the universal faith in his integrity and 
ability, that he was triumphantly elected. In 1848 he was one of the 
delegates'to the Democratic National Convention, when Lewis Cass 
was nominated for the Presidency, and stood among the leading men 
of the New York delegation. In the fall of 1851 he was renominated 
for the County Judgeship, and had for his opponent the Honorable 
Alexander H. Bailey, who was subsequently State Senator. The 
contest was very animated and close, and the portion of the Demo- 
cratic party which had been of the Barnburner wing did not support 
him with any great cordiality, and the result was a very doubtful 
one — depending upon the action of the board of county canvassers 
as to whether a certain alleged return from an election district in the 
town of Catskill should be rejected for alleged irregularities, or should 
be counted. The board concluded to reject the return, and, as a 
result of that decision, awarded the certificate to Judge Tremain and 
adjourned sine die. Thereupon, Mr. Bailey procured an alternative 
mandamus, returnable at the General Term, to be held in Albany in 
December, 1851, and served it upon the supervisors, as members of 
the board of county canvassers, ordering them to show cause why 
they should not be compelled to meet again as such board, and re- 
canvass the votes, and include therein the rejected return, and award 
the certificate to Mr. Bailey. The case was argued upon the return 
day by Mr. Killian Miller, of Columbia county, for the relator, Mr. 
Bailey, and by Mr. Nicholas Hill for the board of county canvassers. 



Seventh Generation. 1055 

The Court, consisting of Judge Harris. Parker and Wright, refused 
the mandamus, holding that, the board having once canvassed and 
dissolved, no power remained in it, even by order of the Court, to 
legally re-convene and re-canvass, and that the remedy of the relator 
was by information in the nature of a writ of quo warranto. This 
ended the legal controversy, and there was nothing in law to prevent 
Judge Tremain. under the authority of his certificate, from again, on 
the coming first of January, assuming the office and putting Mr. Bailey 
to his action, when the whole matter would have been the subject of 
legal investigation, with a result in accordance with legal principles, 
liut such a proceeding did not, under the circumstances, meet the 
approval of Judge Tremain. In his own mind he had serious doubts 
of his election ; that is, throwing aside all legal questions, he had 
grave doubts as to his having received a majority of the votes cast at 
the election, and. having those doubts, added to the legal questions 
as to the propriety of the action of the board of county canvassers in 
throwing out the return from one of the Catskill districts, he made 
up his mind that he would not accept the certificate nor act as County 
Judge. .Accordingly, on the first of January. 1852, he left the Bench, 
and, by that very act. showed how worthy he was to further occupy 
and adorn it. The late Judge Harris, who was a member of the 
Court which decided the mandamus motion, and who himself wrote 
the opinion of the Court, in after years, while speaking to one of the 
classes of the Albany law .school upon the high sense of honor which 
ought to characterize ever)' member of the profession, instanced this 
action of Judge I'remain as one illustrative of his meaning, that mem- 
bers of the Bar should never themselves ground their own actions 
upon narrow and technical rules of law. but upon the broader and 
higher ground of personal honor. Judge Tremain remained at Dur- 
ham, in the vigorous practice of his profession, until, as has been 
said, he removed to Albany in 1853. and entered into partnership 
with his old friend, the late Judge Rufus \V. Peckham, which contin- 
ued until the latter went on the Bench, in January, i860. During 
these years, from 1853 to i860. Judge Tremain was actively engaged 
in his professional labors, and immediately upon his arrival in Albany 
took rank with the leaders of the Bar there. The day before the 
meeting of the Democratic State Convention in 1857, a gentleman 
came in liis office, who was himself a candidate for nomination for a 



1056 History of the Treman Family. 

prominent State office, and asked Judge Tremain to go up with him 
to Syracuse, and, when asked what for. answered, *So that you can be 

nominated for Attorney-General and I for ." To which Judge 

Tremain replied : •! should like to be nominated for Attorney-General 
very much, but the nomination would lose all its pleasure if I were to 
go to Syracuse and personally seek it.' And he did not go ; never- 
theless, his name was presented at that convention and he was nomi- 
nated by acclamation. His popularity with his party was very great, 
for he had a most frank and open manner, always greeting one with 
cordiality and warmth. He was a most successful 'stump' speaker, 
and a political canvass had rarely passed off since he was twenty, in 
which he had not been called upon by his party to defend its princi- 
ples upon the platform. His party was successful and he was elected 
Attorney-General, and served in the office for two years. While At- 
torney-General he assisted the District-Attorney of Albany county 
upon the trial of the famous (in the legal literature of our State) Mrs. 
Hartung for the murder of her husband. The prisoner was a young 
and quite pretty German woman, the motive for the crime being her 
love for another man. who was also indicted as an accessory before 
the fact. The modest appearance, quiet demeanor, and, above all, 
the youth and beauty of the prisoner, procured sympathy for her in the 
minds of most of those who saw her. The charge was that of murder 
by poisoning, and the interest in the trial deepened every day. She 
was ably defended, but the proofs of guilt were too clear, and. in the 
hands of such a prosecuting officer as Mr. Tremain, were presented 
to the jury in such a logical, clear and forcible way, that there was no 
room left for doubt, and the jury were held up to the performance of 
their plain duty by the moral force of the law officer of the State, 
who infused into the breasts of the jury his own high ideas of the 
honest performance of official duty, however disagreeable its perform- 
ance may be. The prisoner was convicted, and upon a writ of error 
being brought to the Supreme Court, the conviction was there af- 
tirmed. The prisoner brought error to the Court of Appeals, where all 
the exceptions taken on the trial were examined and held untenable. 
But since the trial, and prior to the judgment in the Court of Appeals, 
the legislature had passed an act in relation to the punishment for 
the crime of murder, which the Court held was an (\x post facto act, 
so far as the prisoner was concerned, and as the law, under which 



Sex'Enth Generation. 1057 

she had been convicted and sentenced, had been repealed by this 
change, it was held there was no law by which she could be punished, 
and the guilty woman was finally discharged under the law as laid 
down by the Court of Appeals. This action of the legislature was 
by some imputed to a sympathy for the condemned woman, and as 
the .Supreme Court had affirmed the judgment and the Governor 
had refused to interfere, there seemed no escape for her except by 
legislative interference. Mr. Tremain's connection with the case 
ceased, however, with the conviction before the Oyer and Terminer, 
as the successive District Attorneys of Albany county took charge of 
the case in its further progress up and down in the several Courts. 
Another important criminal trial, in which he assisted the District 
Attorney of New York county, occurred while he was Attorney-Gen- 
eral. That was the case of the Italian, Cancemi, accused of the 
murder of a police officer in the city of New York. After some 
progress had been made in the trial, information came to the prose- 
cution which led them to entertain grave doubts of the honesty of 
one of the jurors. The matter was finally arranged by a stipulation, 
signed in open Court by the prisoner, his counsel and the counsel for 
the people, that the juror be withdrawn, and providing for a verdict 
by the remaining eleven, and that the record should show a trial by 
the twelve. The trial then proceeded and resulted in the conviction 
of the accused. Notwithstanding their stipulation, the counsel for 
the prisoner brought a writ of error and obtained a certificate from 
the presiding judge qualifying the postca and showing the fact of 
such withdrawal of a juror, and upon that moved in arrest of judg- 
ment. The case is interesting upon the question of criminal practice, 
and also as deciding that the prisoner cannot consent to a trial by 
less than the number of twelve jurors, and that, in case he is so tried 
and convicted, the conviction will be reversed. It also opens the 
question how far counsel may be justified in going in his efforts for a 
client. In this case the counsel violated their stipulation, in bringing 
into the record the fact of a trial by eleven jurors ; in other language, 
violated their plighted faith and appeared in the case as men who, in 
acting for a client, were willing to violate a solemn agreement entered 
into by them with the assent of the client, and to forfeit their word 
to a professional brother. Self-respect must have disappeared in the 
general wreck. If there be any question as to the propriety of such 



1058 History of the Treman Family. 

conduct, surely it can not be found in the ranks of an honorable 
profession ! 

"The Democracy again nominated Mr. Tremain for re-election 
as Attorney-General in the fall of 1859, but the Republicans carried 
the State and elected the Honorable Charles G. Myers as Attorney- 
General. During the term of Mr. Myers, he commenced the import- 
ant action, in the name of the people, against the New York Central 
Railroad Company, to recover certain back tolls alleged to be due to 
the State for property transported by the company. The claim 
amounted to millions of dollars. It was based upon a clause i)f the 
constitution providing a certain disposition of the revenues of the 
canals, and upon a statute providing for the collection of tolls for 
freight on the railroad, to be paid during the suspension of canal 
navigation to the commissioners of the canal fund, the tolls to be the 
same per mile as would have been paid had the freight been trans- 
ported on the canal. The statute was repealed in 1851, and the 
claim was made that the repeal was unconstitutional, inasmuch as 
these tolls on the railroad for the transportation of freight were sub- 
stantially part of the revenues of the canals, and, as such, could not 
be diverted from the purposes to wiiich, by the constitution they 
were dedicated. As has been said, the claim of the people, if suc- 
cessful, involved the recovery of millions of dollars of back tolls and 
the inevitable imposition of tolls for the future, only to be taken off 
by a constitutional amendment. It was a case the importance of 
which to the railroad company, and indeed also to the State, could 
hardly be overestimated. While Mr. Tremain was Attorney-General, 
he had, upon the recjuest of the Senate, given to that body an elab- 
orate opinion covering the question of the constitutionality of the act 
repealing the act for the collection of tolls, and in that opinion he had 
come to the conclusion that the repealing act was valid. His suc- 
cessor, Attorney-General Myers, in answer to a request from the 
Assembly, under date of March, i860, sent to that body a communi- 
cation that, in his opinion, the repealing act was unconstitutional. 
Hence the action brought by him to test the constitutionality of the 
repealing act, and to recover the back tolls from the railroad com- 
pany. The company, with a full sense of the importance of the 
cause, retained Mr, Tremain as senior counsel to defend such claim, 
and with him were associated one of the general counsel of the com- 



Seventh Generation. 1059 

pany (S. T. Fairchild, Esq.), and ex-Judge Paige, of Schenectady, 
who was a director in the railroad company. The action came on 
for trial before the late Judge John \V. Brown, at the Orange Circuit, 
and resulted in a nonsuit. The people appealed to the General 
'lerm of the Supreme Court, where the nonsuit was affirmed, and 
thence to the Court of Appeals, which Court affirmed the judgments 
of the Courts below, and thus ended the question as to the legality 
of the repealing act, by a decision in favor thereof. All through the 
contest, Mr. Tremain was the chief counsel for the railroad company, 
and his argument in the Court of Appeals was pronounced unanswer- 
able, and a masterly vindication of the power of the legislature to 
pass the repealing act. It was also very gratifying to him that his 
opinion, given while Attorney-General, upon the power of the legisla- 
ture to pass the act, was concurred in by the unanimous voice of all 
the Judges who heard the arguments and in all the Courts. The late 
Judge William I-. Allen delivered the unanimous opinion of the Court 
of Appeals, in which Court he was then sitting as one of the Jus- 
tices of the Supreme Court, under the old judiciary article of the 
constitution. 

"Thus Mr. Tremain stood, a leader in his profession, engaged 
in the active practice thereof, and taking part in many of the most 
important civil and criminal cases which arose in the State, when the 
war of the rebellion broke out. I'p to this time he had stood among 
the foremost members of the Democratic party of his State — always 
in the confidence of his party, and always received by the members 
thereof, when he appeared in public, with demonstrations of the 
highest affection. 

"During that solemn winter of 1861, when it seemed as if the 
country were drifting into civil war with all its inexpressible and 
necessary horrors, and nothing seemed to be done to prevent it, or 
to calm the passions of the people, the Democratic party of New York 
called together a State Convention, to be held at Tweddle Hall, in 
Albany, on the 31st day of January, 1861. Pursuant to that call, 
several hundred delegates, from all parts of the State, assembled at 
Albany. The temporary president was Hon. Sanford E. Church, its 
permanent one being Hon. Amasa J. Parker. Speeches in favor of 
conciliation were there made, and resolutions were there passed, hav- 
ing for their object an escape from civil war. Mr. Tremain, on the 



io6o History of the Treman Family. 

first day of the session, was absent in the trial of a cause at the Al- 
bany Circuit. On the morning of the second day he was in the con- 
vention, and, being called to the platform, made a speech which 
became thereafter the cause of the most abundant abuse of the posi- 
tion subsequently taken by him in regard to the war. It was an able 
speech, made before an excitable audience, and in a time of great 
excitement, when the words of men speaking extemporaneously were 
naturally not weighed with that care which the same men would use 
in a legal argument or in a judicial opinion, 'i'here are, undoubtedly, 
words used in that speech, which, when torn from the general con- 
text, and read entirely alone, with no reference to the circumstances 
of national peril under which the convention met, or to the objects 
and purposes of the convention, would not commend themselves to 
the better judgment of even the speaker himself. Hut he was speak- 
ing to men who were eager to prevent bloodshed, and who thought 
that the policy of the Republican party, then coming into power, was 
wrong and tending necessarily to civil war. In his own language in 
that very speech : 'Time is important. Get time until the passions 
'of men may cool. Prevent a collision which must inevitably result 
'in civil war. Give the people an opportunity to speak, and then will 
'be time enough, if the time must ever come, when you shall unsheathe 
'the sword against your southern brethren. In the meantime, I think 
'we stand a unit, opposed to civil war.' The idea was the appoint- 
ment of a commission by the legislature, and, failing in that, by the 
convention, to see if some means might not be found, honorable to 
all, by which war could be averted and the union saved. And it was 
speaking in reference to that object, and the attitude of the Republi- 
can party, which was believed to be hostile to any such commission 
from the legislature, or. indeed, to any action whatever, that Mr. 
Tremain made the allusions he did. However, notwithstanding the 
action of the convention, the peace conference, etc., the winter glided 
steadily by, and nothing was done. Spring came, and Mr. Lincoln 
was inaugurated. Then an attempt was made to revictual Fort Sum- 
ter in Charleston harbor. Blood was spilt, the President called out 
seventy-five thousand volunteers, and war was actually upon us. 
During the summer of 1861, Bull Run was fought, and several minor 
engagements, and the two sections were, by the fall, fairly launched 
in the life and death struggle. The Democratic party met in con- 



Seventh Generation. io6i 

vention and nominated State officers, among them Mr. Tremain for 
Attorney-General. This nomination he decHned, and gave his reason, 
that he thought all partisan or political contests should cease until 
the end of the war. 

"Men might reasonably differ upon the question as to what 
should be the attitude of the Democratic party. It was thought, on 
one side, that many of the acts of the government were entirely out- 
side the constitution — illegal and wrong ; that its system of arbitrary 
arrests, without warrant and many times without cause, tended to 
tyranny and a contempt for law. and, if indulged in without rebuke, 
might render the country, when saved, so used to the Mexican sys- 
tem, that political freedom and personal freedom would both be lost 
in the very jaws of victor)- ; that to approve such acts on the part of 
the government was to encourage it to persist in equal if not worse 
violations of the organic law ; and, therefore, there could be no union 
with a party whic h proposed to approve these or the general acts of 
the administration. On the other hand, men like Mr. Tremain 
thought and said, while we are in this struggle let us not call up the 
constitutional question ; let us endure the danger arising from arbi- 
trary arrests, from illegal acts generally, in the belief that, if we 
succeed in the main struggle, we will be then able, and our officials 
will be then willing, to return to the old ways of law and order, with 
the habeas corpus in full life. The great mass of the Democratic 
party took the former view of the situation, and. while willing to 
prosecute the war, was not willing to permit the administration to 
violate the law of the land, especially in the peaceful states, by this 
arbitrary arrest system, and, consequently, the party opposed the ad- 
ministration in all such matters. The charge of inconsistency has 
been frequently brought against Mr. Tremain by his former political 
associates, based upon his declination of the nomination in 1861 for 
Attorney-General, and upon his joining the ranks of the Union-Re- 
publican party at that time ; and his Tweddle Hall speech is pointed 
to for the purpose of proving the charge. The circumstances under 
which that speech was delivered have been already detailed. It was 
not spoken after war became inevitable, but only while there was 
hope that, by conciliation, calmness, wisdom, peace might be pre- 
served. After all these hopes had ceased, and when war with all its 
stern realities was upon us, and substantially the whole North was 



io62 History of the Treman Family. 

unanimous upon the subject of a prosecution of the war ; and when 
the only questions at issue were as to the approval of certain of the 
acts of the administration, and their probable or possible effect, not 
only upon the war itself, but after peace had been achieved ; the fact, 
that Mr. Tremain differed with most of his party upon the effect of 
such acts and of such approval, does not prove him inconsistent with 
his position in Januarj', 1861, under entirely different circumstances 
and speaking for entirely different purposes. It was a bitter step for 
him to take, when he separated himself from many of his life-long 
political friends and went into opposition to that party where he had 
won so much political renown, and which had ever treated him with 
so much kindness. Nothing but a sense of duty on his part nerved 
him to the task, and kept him up through all the future years, tlis 
sincerity was put to a most severe test, when, in 1862, he consented 
to his first-born, then a mere stripling, enlisting in the service and 
going out as adjutant of one of the New York regiments. This son was 
his pride. A remarkably bright, active youth, full of hope and of 
high and lofty ambition. It was a tremendous sacrifice for him to 
consent to this son's going into the service, and yet he did it. and 
bade him God speed on his mission. 

"In the fall of 1862 Judge Tremain, without solicitation on his 
part, was nominated by the Republicans for the office of Lieutenant- 
Governor, with General W'adsworth as the candidate for Governor. 
The Democrats nominated Horatio Seymour for Governor, and Uavid 
R. Floyd Jones for Lieutenant-Governor. The canvass was a most 
exciting and bitter one, and the Democrats made full use of the 
Tweddle Hall speech and its alleged inconsistencies. The Demo- 
crats carried the State by a majority of about ten thousand, and Mr. 
Tremain suffered defeat with his party. During the period interven- 
ing, and up to the close of the war, Mr. Tremain was actively at work 
in the practice of his profession, and he was never happier than 
when hard at work in his office or in Court. He was also active in 
the political campaigns of the years, and was engaged in making war 
speeches, aiding in the raising of regiments for the war, and generally 
testifying, by all the means in his power, the deep and abiding inter- 
est he took in the struggle which was going on. During this time he 
was retained as one of the counsel in the famous legal-tender cases, 
the question involving the constitutionality of that section of the law 



Seventh Generation. 1063 

of Congress which imparted to the 'greenback' its legal-tender quality. 
He made an argument before the Court of Appeals in favor of the 
legality of the clause, and that Court, by a divided vote, sustained 
the constitutionality of the provision, which prevented an appeal to 
the Supreme Court of the United States. He was also retained to 
defend the banks upon the claims made to tax the shares in national 
banks created under the act of Congress. The Court of Appeals 
sustained the claim, in opposition to the argument of Mr. Tremain 
among others. Upon appeal to the Supreme Court of the United 
States, the judgment was reversed, but not upon the merits of the 
cjuestion, and that Court established the law in favor of the right to 
tax the shares, upon complying with the act of Congress. 

"just prior to the close of the war, Mr. Tremain sustained a 
terrible affliction in the loss of his soldier son, Frederick, who died 
from the effects of a wound received at Hatcher's Run, while he was 
in command of his regiment as its Lieutenant-Colonel. The grief of 
the parent was hard to look upon, and many a time did it seem to 
him th.it he could reecho the expression of King David and say, 
Would (iod that I had died for thee.' Still, as was his duty, he 
kept hard at work at his profession, down to the time of his first voy- 
age to Europe, in the year 1S69. During this time he was engaged 
to aid the District Attorney in the prosecution of General Cole, who 
had, in a most cowardly manner, shot a citi/en while he was engaged 
in conversation at the Stanwix Hall in the city of Albany. The 
prisoner had been an officer in the army, and had a brother in the 
Senate of the United States from California. The case excited the 
most widespread interest. The ablest counsel were engaged to de- 
fend the prisoner, among them James T. Brady and William A. Beach. 
The defense was insanity, substantially, though the real ground of 
the shooting was alleged to have been the criminal intimacy of the 
deceased with the wife of the prisoner. He was twice tried ; once 
the jury disagreed, and the second time the prisoner was acquitted. 
Mr. Tremain, in the trial, on both occasions, exhibited that wonderful 
vigor and freshness, and a power of sustained reasoning and analysis, 
for which he was so justly renowned. But nothing could ov'ercome 
the prejudices of a jury which went upon the assumption that the 
claim of the prisoner, in regard to the action of the deceased with 
the prisoner's wife, was true, and. being true, the prisoner ought to 



1064 History of the Treman Family. 

shoot. That was the meaning of the verdict, although there was a 
thin veil of insanity running through the case. In the fall of 1865 
the Republican party made many nominations for the Assembly of 
remarkably able men, acting by a kind of general understanding 
throughout its ranks. Among them, Mr. Tremain was nominated 
and triumphantly elected ; the Hon. Clark B. Cochrane being also 
elected from the same county. Without any movement on his part 
to accomplish such end. it seemed to be generally assumed that he 
should be the Speaker and he was elected by the Republicans to that 
position without any previous legislative experience, and he presided 
over the session of the Assembly in 1866, with ability, dignity and 
impartiality. 

"During the whole of Mr. Tremain 's professional life he had 
been subject to frequent and most agonizing attacks of inriammatory 
rheumatism. These attacks would come upon him with almost the 
suddenness of a blow. He would frequently leave his office at night 
without the faintest symptom of the approach of the dread visitor, 
and in the night the attack would come upon him with frightful vio- 
lence, so that by morning he would be utterly helpless, and suffering 
most excruciating pain. He had one of these attacks, and about as 
violent a one as he ever had, just after entering upon the duties of 
the office of Attorney-General. He suffered for weeks from this at- 
tack, confined to the bed and unable to move or help himself. After 
his recovery, so far as to be able to get out. and in ihe following 
summer, he went to Sharon Springs and derived great benefit from 
the baths at that celebrated resort. He was comparatively free from 
any returns of his enemy for some time, when the attacks commenced 
again. It was noticed by his friends that these attacks were very 
likely to follow any prolonged confinement in the bad air of crowded 
court-houses, but "yet such was the buoyancy and hopefulness of his 
disposition, that he no sooner felt the iron grasp of the disease relax, 
than he was impatient to be again at his work, his active mind dread- 
ing nothing so much as idleness. But for the few years preceding 
the year 1869, these attacks had become very frequent in their occur- 
rence, and were telling upon the constitution of the man. He finally 
decided upon taking the rest which he so much needed, and which 
he had so well earned, and he accordingly, in that year, sailed for 
Europe in company with his wife and daughter. He was gone about 



Seventh Generation. 1065 

a year, visiting Kngland. France, (jermany and Italy, and, during the 
whole of his trip, was absolutely free from disease or pain of any 
kind, and returned home with strength renewed and energies re- 
freshed, to again plunge into the hard work of his beloved profession. 
He was greeted, upon his return to his residence, with a warm wel- 
come and a kind of public reception at the hands of eminent citizens, 
who valued the sterling qualities of the man and the neighbor. In 
1872 his name was prominently mentioned in connection with the 
nomination for Governor, but he declined the use of his name for 
that high office, preferring to take one which would not wholly pre- 
vent him from practicing his profession. Without solicitation on his 
part, he was nominated unanimously for the highly honorable office 
of Congre.ssman-at-large on the Republican ticket, and was elected 
with the rest of his ticket at the election of 1872. In the fall of 187 1 
the gigantic frauds of the Tweed ring had been made public, and the 
popular mind had been stirred to its very depths by the enormous 
system of fraud and rascality which had been developed. Mayor 
Ilall had been indicted as a guilty participant in the frauds, and had 
been placed upon his trial. Mr. 'Iremain, in connection with the 
Attorney-General's office, and assisted by Mr. Wheeler H. Peckham, 
of New York, conducted the prosecution. The jury disagreed. In 
the meantime, the chief rascal of the ring, William M. Tweed, had 
been indicted. He was placed upon trial, but such was the power of 
Tweed and his friends, that even when he stood at the Bar as an 
accused man, he was able to make himself felt in the jury bo.\, and 
and an agreement was not among the possibilities. Upon this trial, 
Mr. Tremain and Mr. Peckham were for the prosecution. As soon 
as it was over, the prosecution determined that there should be no 
failure of justice a second time. The trial of Tweed was again 
moved in the Oyer and Terminer, Judge Noah Davis presiding, in 
the fall of 1873. Prior to that time, the prosecution had had the 
jury list for that term thoroughly examined, and the history of every 
man on the list had been obtained, so that, when a man was called as 
a juror, the prosecution had his whole history before them. Mr, 
Tremain and Mr. Peckham. of New York, assisted the District Attor- 
ney upon the second trial, and even then, with all their care, another 
failure was at one time imminent, by reason of one of the jurors, who 
had been accepted, giving evidence that he was not to be relied upon 



io66 History of the Treman Family. 

as an unbiased man. An effort was made, through a motion to the 
Court to that effect, to open the case and renew a challenge to that 
juror. The motion was vehemently opposed, testimony to substan- 
tiate the charges of the prosecution agiainst the juror was taken, and 
the result was the Court allowed the challenge to be renewed, and 
sustained it, and set aside the juror. The result was a jury of hon- 
est, unbiased men, which convicted the prisoner upon a great number 
of counts in the indictment, which was for a misdemeanor. A motion 
was made for sentence upon each of the counts upon which the pris- 
oner was convicted, which was earnestly opposed by his counsel, as 
illegal and beyond the power of the Court to inllict. The Court, 
however, decided that it had the power, and then proceeded to inHict 
such sentence, imposing imprisonment for six months upon a number 
of different counts in the indictment, and providing that each six 
months should commence upon the expiration of the preceding term, 
so that in all Tweed was sentenced for many years to the peniten- 
tiary. Thus justice triumphed over this great criminal, who was sent 
to prison and dressed in the garb of a convict. Congratulations 
poured in upon the counsel for the people on all sides, and Mr. Tre- 
main had the satisfaction of feeling that he had been instrumental in 
bringing to punishment this great rascal. Subsequently, upon the 
expiration of the first six months of liis imprisonment, the counsel of 
Tweed sued out a writ of habeas corpus, to test the question of the power 
of the Court to inflict cumulative sentences. The Supreme Court 
sustained the power, but the Court of Appeals denied it, and Tweed 
thus escaped the further term of imprisonment under the sentence of 
Oyer and Terminer. Another celebrated trial Mr. Tremain was con- 
nected with in the city of New York, as senior counsel, that of the 
people against Stokes, for the murder of James Fisk, Jr., Mr. Tre- 
main being retained for the defense. Stokes was convicted of murder 
in the first degree. The sentiment of the community was decidedly 
against the prisoner, and such sentiment made itself felt in the jury 
box. In this trial, the readiness of Mr. Tremain, his quickness in 
seeing a point, and the accuracy of his knowledge of the fundamental 
principles of criminal law, w-ere all brought into constant play. Not 
a movement escaped him ; not a word fell from the lips of witness, 
opposing counsel, or from the Court, that he did not fully compre- 
hend, seize upon and turn to his own advantage as far as possible. 



Seventh Generation. 1067 

Wary, cool, collected and alert, the whole man was instinct with life 
and energy. He was on the lookout for 'exceptions.' for he saw at 
the outset that the stream was powerful, and that, in all probability, 
he could not, on this trial, stem it. And fortunate was it for the life 
of his client that he had a lawyer to defend him ! After the jury 
convicted Stokes, the case was carried to the Supreme Court, where 
the conviction was affirmed, the Court holding that, while there was 
error in the charge of the Judge in his definition of murder that the 
law inferred malice from the fact of the killing, instead of leaving to 
the jury to find malice as a fact: yet the Court thought the error had 
not been prcxluctive of harm to the prisoner when other portions of 
the charge were examined. The case was taken to the Court of Ap- 
peals, where Mr. Tremain argued it with an ability and earnestness 
commensurate with its importance. The Court of Appeals, all the 
judges concurring, held the charge erroneous, and that, under such 
circumstances, it must be seen that, by no possibility, could such 
error have worked harm to the prisoner, and, as they could not say 
that such was the fact, they unanimously reversed the conviction and 
ordered a new trial. This was a most magnificent triumph for Mr. 
Tremain. and well had he earned it by the most patient, exhaustive 
and unremitting labor and diligence. Upon another trial. Judge 
Davis presided, and held the law sternly, showmg no favors to the 
prisoner. Mr. Tremain again defended him. and the trial resulted in 
a verdict of manslaughter, and a sentence to the State prison for four 
years. But these gigantic labors were telling upon the constitution 
of Mr. Tremain. So exhausted was he when he finished the last trial 
of Stokes, that he went to sleep at the dinner table at his hotel ! 
During the trial, also, he was suffering more or less from the attacks 
of his old enemy, which seemed to delight in fastening upon his vic- 
tim when he was least able to resist such attacks. Yet, as the session 
of Congress approached, he went to Washington to take his seat as 
representative at large from the Empire State. His reputation had 
preceded him. and. without eflfort on his part, he was accorded an 
honorable position on the judiciary committee of the House. Mr. 
Tremain took rank at once among the leaders of the House, and, 
although at times suffering greatly from repeated attacks of his old 
foe, was, nevertheless, an earnest, and attentive, and able representa- 
tive of his great constituency. Among the ablest of his speeches was 



io68 History of the Treman Family. 

that upon the subject of the disposition of the balance of the moneys 
received from England by virtue of the Geneva award. Upon that 
question Mr. Tremain had no doubt. He examined it with great 
care and made a most exhaustive speech upon it. taking the ground 
that, in equity, those who had paid the losses suffered by the assured, 
were subrogated to their rights, and ought to be paid such money. 
He was not able to carrv a bill embodying such provisions, however, 
and no steps were taken in the matter in that Congress. His Con- 
gressional career closed with the term for which he was elected, 
March, 1875, and he found himself weakened and suffering from the 
repeated attacks of disease which he had had during his residence in 
Washington, greatly aggravated by the bad air of the House. He 
came to Albany, but found himself unable to press into business with 
his old vigor, and, almost for the first time, his spirits became de- 
pressed as he began to realize that his health had become seriously 
impaired by the constant strains from mental labor and from disease 
to which he had been subjected. He took another voyage to Europe 
with his wife, and. although relieved somewhat, he could not say 
what he said of his other tour, that he had not felt an ache or a pain 
during his absence, for he had, while in Europe on this occasion, 
several attacks of his malady. He came home, however, much im- 
proved, though not restored to his full health and strength. He soon 
entered upon the defense of Frederick Smith, indicted for murder, 
whose trial came off at the Fulton Oyer and Terminer early in the 
year 1876. The case was a most exciting one, and the little county 
of Fulton was stirred to the very center. Public opinion was ver}' 
strongly against the accused, and the evidence which the prosecution 
brought to bear was pointed and strong. The Court felt as if a con- 
viction should be had, and tried the case without any sentiment 
towards the prisoner. The air in the little court-room, which was 
crowded to its utmost capacity at all times, soon became almost un- 
bearable, and acted like poison upon Mr. Tremain, already weakened 
from the incessant attacks of his disease. He became quite ill, so 
that the Court had to adjourn for him ; and when he was not in 
Court, he passed his time on the bed. But his spirit was indomitable, 
and he meant to go through with the case and discharge his full duty 
to his client if it were physically possible for him so to do. He made 
a magnificent argument to the jury, his whole mind, seemingly, being 



Seventh Generation. 1069 

alive to the importance of the case to his client ; and he stood before 
the jury for hours, pleading with them by turns with all his old-time 
charm of voice and manner, and then clearly and forcibly disintegrat- 
ing the evidence for the prosecution, and denouncing, in deep and 
stern tones, the flimsy character of the people's evidence. All this 
he did, ably, forcibly, eloquently, and while he was a suffering and 
broken-down man ; the flesh being weak, but the spirit within rising 
high and clear above its weakness. The jur)- acquitted the prisoner, 
and there can be no doubt that such verdict was due to the able 
manner in which Mr. Tremain tried the cause, and to the magnificent 
manner of his summing up. The case was won, and Mr. Tremain 
returned to Albany, worn out in body, suffering greatly, yet much 
gratified at the success of his efforts. 

"This was the last important cause which Mr. Tremain ever 
tried, liih strength seemed never to return to him after he had 
finished this trial. He had great difViculty in breathing, and his 
spirits became very much depressed. He came to his office, but 
failed to get back his strength, and looked on at the business of his 
partners, who were, one of them Rufus W. Peckham, the son of his 
old friend, and the other his son, Grenville Tremain. When Judge 
Peckham went upon the Bench in i860, Mr. Tremain formed a part- 
nership with a son of the Judge, Rufus \V., Jr., which was continued 
substantially to the time of the death of Mr. Tremain. In 1868 the 
firm was enlarged by Mr. Tremain's son, (irenville. coming into it. 
which continued with all three until the sad and untimely death of 
Grenville in March, 1878. At that time Mr. Tremain was laboring 
under serious illness ; so serious that he could not get out of his room 
to look a last time upon the face of his last remaining son. 

"In 1877 the Republican party, without solicitation from either 
father or son. and as a compliment to both, as graceful as it was 
merited, nominated, by acclamation, Grenville, the only surviving son 
of Mr. Tremain. for the office of Attorney-General. The ticket was 
not successful in the State, but here, where both were so well known, 
the son received a most flattering vote, running largely ahead of his 
ticket, and receiving a majority of votes in Albany county. This 
young man, so gifted, so winning, so eloquent, who stood in the very 
inmost recesses of his father's heart, was suddenly, and what seemed 
the flood-tide of health and strength, stricken down by his fatal illness. 



loyo History of the Treman Family. 

and, after struggling for a few days, died. The blow was a terrible 
one, and many a time the father uttered his astonishment that he was 
left and Grenville taken. He never recovered from the blow, but 
lingered through the summer and fall, and died on the 30th day of 
November, 1878, at the Gilsey House in New York. 

"In his private life, among his friends and at his own home. Mr. 
Tremain was one of the most charming and agreeable of men. There 
was a brightness in his ver)' presence, and cheerfulness and good 
humor were his characteristics. He was the idol of his house, and 
all were busy in efforts to minister to his comfort. The disease which 
has been spoken of, and which so frequently attacked Mr. Tremain, 
was, as has been said, most painful. The suffering he endured was 
sometimes agonizing. And yet, during all the years of his life, when 
the attacks came on ; and when, thereby, all his plans were disar- 
ranged and confusion took the place of order : and, later on, when he 
saw himself debarred from the exercise of those unusual talents which 
nature had given him, and while he was compelled to live in silence 
and enforced idleness as to his profession ; yet, during and under all 
these trials, pains, sufferings in mind and body, those who were near- 
est to him never heard a complaint or a murmur against the fate 
which he was so bravely meeting. Mr, Tremain had been, for many 
years, an active and earnest member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church 
in the city of Albany, and died a member of that parish. 

"The foregoing is, comparatively, a brief sketch of the useful 
and busy life of Mr. Tremain. As a lawyer he stood among the 
leaders of his profession in the State. There will be no denial of the 
fact that he was a most wonderfully successful man before a jury. He 
was of commanding presence, and looked to be a full man, as well as 
acted up to that measure. When trying a case before a jury, while 
always respectful and gentlemanly in his demeanor to the Court, yet, 
from the moment he sat down to the trial, his eye, his mind, his full 
attention, were all given to the jury. He endeavored to establish 
kindly relations between himself and them, and that by a sort of free- 
masonry that it is about impossible to describe and rare to see 
imitated. This was all in the presence of the Court and during the 
actual trial, for of course it goes without saying that he would have 
scorned to speak to a jury^man outside of the Court. But he im- 
pressed upon the jur}- an idea of his own faith in the case, and he 



Seventh Generation. 1071 

would give them such plausible reasons for that faith, and he would 
argue at one moment so smoothly, and at another plead so strongly. 
and yet again denounce in thunder tones and with a righteous wrath 
and an indignant gesture, that, altogether and in combination, the 
effect upon the jury was miraculous, and many a verdict he has 
snatched from the very edge of defeat by this wonderful power he 
had with the twelve men in the box. In addition to that, he was 
always in the trial wary and cool, looking out for 'exceptions' in case 
of an adverse result, so that he might have a chance to reverse and 
try again. Before the Court in banc, he was always dignified and 
courteous (as he was everywhere), and came before the Court fully 
prepared to argue his cause. He was not what might be termed a 
case lawyer, but he was astonishingly familiar with the principles of 
the law, and he was able to and did reason clearly and intelligently 
upon such principles. He had great powers of analysis, and would 
point out a distinction, or discover a similarity between two cases, with 
great readiness and with great ability. He did not despise an author- 
ity, and no man's brief betrayed the fact more clearly that he had had 
access to the authorities and availed himself of their aid. Hut he 
was never smothered by them. They never mastered him. He took 
them, examined them, mastered them, and used or distinguished 
them with clearness and force. That he should be taken from us. in 
the very zenith of his powers, with a capacity for future usefulness as 
measured by the natural age of man, not filled by many years yet, is 
difhcult to understand or appreciate the reason for. But the memory 
of such a life should not be permitted to go out with the lives of 
those who knew Mr. I'remain. It should be made more permanent, 
and for that end, the foregoing outline of his honorable life has been 
given."

220500. Col. Frldkrick Tremain. 5441. The following 
is taken from a memoir of him written by his father : 

'Frederick J>yman Tremain was the eldest child of Lyman and 
Helen Cornwall Tremain, and was born at Durham, Greene county, 
N. Y., on the 13th of June, 1843. He died at City Point Hospital, 
Virginia, on the 8th of Eebruary, 1865, from a gunshot wound re- 
ceived in battle, near Hatcher's Run, on the 6th of Eebruary, being 
21 years, 7 months and 24 days old, at the time of his death. 

"Of his ancestry, all that I propose to state in this connection is, 
that he descended, both on his father's and mother's side, from revo- 
lutionary stock. His paternal great-grandfather. Nathaniel Tremain, 
was a soldier of the Revolutionary War, who died, highly esteemed 
and respected, at Pittsfield, Berkshire county, Mass. His maternal 
great-grandfather. Captain Dan. Cornwall, was also a soldier of the 
Revolution, and a worthy citizen, who died at Cornwallsville, Greene 
county, N. Y. 

"In his boyish career, there is little to record, which is worthy 
of special notice. While he was by no means precocious, he was a 
remarkably bright, intelligent and active boy. His nature was so 
genial and generous that he was always a favorite, not only with his 
youthful comrades, but with all who were brought in contact with him. 

"He had a remarkable facility in the acquisition of knowledge, 
and, apparently without effort, mastered whatever lessons were re- 
quired of him, in and out of school. In all his boyish sports and 




COLONEI, FREDERICK TREMAINE 



Eighth Generation. 1075 

athletic exercises, he was an acknowledged leader. He displayed 
then, and through his subsequent life, an unusual degree of mechani- 
cal ingenuity. 

"There was one trait in his character which was developed at a 
very early period, and which became, afterwards, prominent and ex- 
traordinary. This was his wonderful courage, coolness and self- 
reliance. Many instances to illustrate this characteristic might be 
related, commencing as early as when he was three years old, but I 
refrain from giving them a place here, fearful that their publication 
might be ascribed to an overweening parental fondness. (Juick in 
fornnng his conclusions, prompt in action, fertile in resources, obsta- 
cles and difficulties served only to stimulate him in the execution of 
his purposes, and rare, very rare, was the instance, so rare, indeed, 
that no case can be now recalled, in which he failed to accomplish, 
successfully, whatever he undertook. 

"His religious education was carefully attended to, and, at an 
early age, he received the holy rite of baptism, in the Protestant 
Episcopal Church, at Oak Hill, under the ministration of the Rev. L. 
A. Harrows. The following extract is from a letter received from 
this faithful minister and good man. written at Norfolk. St. Lawrence 
county, his present residence. 'We feel to deeply sympathize with 
you under the dark cloud which this sudden and unexpected bereave- 
ment has thrown over you. Since such is the melancholy fact that a 
dear child, a brilliant youth, in the defence of his countr)-. has been 
called from your paternal embrace, let faith lift the veil, and view in 
a world of bliss, future scenes more glorious than could have been 
won here on battle fields. Frederick is gone. I placed the form of 
the cross upon his forehead, and. as in life, so in death, let us believe 
that he triumphed over the spiritual enemy and is now rejoicing in 
the kingdom of God.' Here let me add, that, after his death, there 
was found in his camp tent, carefully preserved, a copy of the Holy 
Bible given to him by his dear mother, with a mark placed at chap- 
ters five and six of Matthew, which contain that sublime and com- 
prehensive epitome of man's whole duty, Christ's sermon on the 
mount. 

"In November, 1853, he removed, with his father's family, from 
Durham to the city of Albany, where he continued to reside until his 
death. Here several years were passed in faithful and diligent study, 



1076 History of the Trkman Family. 

preparatory to his college education. The schools he attended, in 
the city, were the Albany Boys' Academy, and, afterwards, the Classi- 
cal Institute, in Eagle street, of which Professor Charles H. Anthony 
was Principal. Under the instruction of this excellent and faithful 
teacher he spent between two and three years of his life. Between 
Mr. Anthony and his young pupil, relations of friendship were con- 
tracted, which continued in full force to the end. 'I'he photograph of 
this teacher of his boyhood was found, after his death, among the 
valued memorials in his army trunk. 

"In the spring of 1858, Frederick entered the Classical school 
for boys, under the charge of Mr. James Sedgwick, at Great Barring- 
ton, Mass. In this beautiful New Kngland village, he remained pur- 
suing his studies, and attracting the alTectionate regard of teachers 
and schoolmates, for one year. 

"In the spring of 1859, Frederick became a pupil in the cele- 
brated school for boys, under the charge of the Rev. Thomas C. 
Reed, D.I)., at Walnut Hill, Geneva. He continued in Doctor 
Reed's school until the summer of i860, when several of his school 
companions were examined for admission into Ilobart College, Gene- 
va, and Frederick, who had formed very strong attachments with 
them, also applied, and passed his examination, and having been found 
qualified, was admitted into the Freshman Class and entered that 
college, at the commencement of the college year, in September, i860. 

"The two years, or nearly two years, of his college life were 
marked by no unusual incidents. Many warm friendships were 
formed, a;nd his genial and unselfish character, as well as his excel- 
lent natural abilities, were duly appreciated. 

"Nor was he backward in performing his full share in the mis- 
chief-loving scrapes in which, from time immemorial, boys in college 
have been accustomed to take part. He was proud of the secret 
society of which he became a member, and contributed, to the extent 
of his ability, to promote its power and influence. In brief, during 
the three years and upwards that he was pursuing his studies in this 
most beautiful village, surrounded by the delightful scenery which 
nature has lavished there with such bountiful profusion, he was con- 
stantly acquiring that education which enabled him, in after life, to 
master with facility the duties of the responsible and arduous posi- 
tions which he was called to hold. 



Eighth Generation. 1077 

"By the tiring upon Fort Sumter, his patriotism was aroused, 
and he experienced an ardent desire to become a volunteer in the 
army of the Union. About this time, the people of Geneva were en- 
gaged in organizing an engineer corps, under the command of Mr. 
Charles H. Stuart, formerly State Engineer and Surveyor. Frederick 
desired to enlist, and applied to his father for his permission, but, 
there being at that time, no difficulty in procuring volunteers, and his 
college career having commenced only the fall before, the paternal 
consent was then withheld, not finally, but for the present. 

"In December. 1861. the annual sophomore exercises in public 
speaking took place, and Frederick was selected as one of the thir- 
teen speakers of his class to participate in them. In a letter inviting 
his parents to attend he writes. I think you will not hear any bad 
speaking, but. on the contrary', will hear much good speaking on the 
occasion." The exhibition took place at Linden Hall, in the presence 
of a large and intelligent audience, and he acquitted himself quite 
creditably. In the Geneva (}azette. his performance was specially 
mentioned in complimentary and flattering terms. 

"During the summer of 1862. after the President's call for more 
men appeared, FredeHck. who had never for a moment relinquished 
his desire to enter the army, again urged his father to yield his con- 
sent. The author was thus brought face to face with the stern reality 
of war, and was called upon to determine the question whether the 
application of this loved son should be granted or denied. He had, 
from the commencement of the great conflict, labored, to the extent 
of his ability, to convince his countrymen, that it was their duty to 
sustain the government and overthrow the rebellion. He had exerted 
whatever influence he possessed, by public addresses, and in various 
other modes, to induce men to take the field against the enemies of 
the country. The conviction that it was the solemn duty of every 
American citizen to sustain the authority and preserve the life of the 
nation at any and all sacrifices, was as full and complete as the 
human mind was capable of entertaining. This conviction formed a 
part of his ver)^ being, and he believed that, in this great crisis of the 
nation's peril, his duty to his beloved country was second only to his 
duty to his God. 

"Frederick immediately began his arrangements for the new 
field of duty, with great earnestness and energy. He had already 



1078 History of the Treman Family. 

become a member of Company A, of the Zouave Cadets, a uniformed 
company in the loth Regiment of Militia, and had been engaged in 
acquiring the drill and the necessary military science. This com- 
pany has become highly distinguished during the war. It can point, 
on its muster rolls, to many names among the noblest, most gifted 
and patriotic of the young men of Albany. It has already sent more 
than ninety of its members to the held, each one of whom has earned 
and obtained a commission, many of high rank, and all of respectable 
position. 

"Having obtained from Hobart College, an honorable dismissal, 
his attention was immediately devoted to the new regiment of infan- 
try, known as the 1 13th regiment of New York volunteers, which was 
then in the process of being organized in the city of Albany. 

"P'or the purpose of organizing this regiment. His Excellency, 
Governor Morgan, had designated a war committee, embracing some 
of the most patriotic and inriuential citizens of Albany, and the com- 
mittee held daily sessions at the Mayor's room in the City Hall. It 
was resolved to make this regiment one of the best that had been 
sent forth from the State. The Ciovernor had entrusted to the com- 
mittee the duty of recommending suitable persons to obtain authori- 
zation papers, to recruit volunteers with reference to having commis- 
sions, as lieutenants and captains, issued to those who were able to 
recruit the requisite number of men. 

"Frederick promptly applied to the committee, and was the first 
person who received from the Adjutant General, on the recommenda- 
tion of the committee, authority to obtain recruits for the new regi- 
ment. He erected his tent in front of Capitol Park, in State street, 
issued his posters, associated with him young Orr and young McEwen 
(the former of whom has since lost his life, in the army, and the latter 
is now Judge Advocate of the first division, second army corps, hav- 
ing been for some time a prisoner at Libby Prison, Richmond), and 
proceeded with vigor and energ}% to obtain volunteers. Indeed, the 
real manhood of his character was displayed from the moment he 
felt the responsibilities of his position, and continued to manifest 
itself, more and more clearly, in every subsequent stage of his career. 

"The late Adjutant General, John T. Sprague, then a Major in 
the United States army, was on duty for the Government, at Albany, 
as an auditing and disbursing officer. The war committee unani- 



Eighth Generation. 1079 

mously designated him as the Colonel of the new regiment, and he 
accepted the position. The Government at Washington, however, 
soon after this, declined to relieve him from duty in the regular army, 
and, hence, he was only enabled to act as Colonel for a very few 
days. During that time, however, discovering the necessity of an 
Adjutant for the regiment, and being acquainted with Frederick, 
Colonel Sprague kindly tendered him the position of Adjutant. It 
was accepted, and his selection approved by Governor Morgan. 

"In the time that intervened prior to the period when the regi- 
ment left Albany, which was about thirty days, the whole duty of 
organizing it, and getting it into proper working order, devolved upon 
the new Adjutant. The Colonel (Morris) did not arrive until a very 
short time before the regiment moved. No other field officer was 
selected until a day or two prior to that time, and the only other 
officer, besides the Adjutant, was Doctor Pomfrct, Surgeon, whose 
duties were confined to the surgical and niedical department. 

"To the faithful discharge of these duties, Frederick devoted 
himself, days and nights, dividing his time between the headquarters 
in Broadway, and the barracks. Mow readily he mastered those 
duties, and how well he performed them, may be inferred from the 
letter of Doctor Pomfret, the present Surgeon General of the State of 
New York, and from the frequent compliments bestowed upon him 
by the committee, who were superintending his movements, and who 
were surprised and gratified by the qualities he exhibited. If any 
apprehensions had been entertained, by reason of the Adjutant's 
youth, it is believed they were entirely and speedily dispelled. 

"About the 19th of August, 1862, the 113th regiment, with 1060 
bayonets, left the city of Albany, under orders to report at Washing- 
ton. It was one of the first regiments placed in the field, under the 
President's call, and received a beautiful stand of colors, as well as 
the Springfield muskets, which had been promised to each of the first 
four regiments. A finer regiment, or one carrying with it so many 
good wishes and so much interest, on the part of Albanians, never 
left our city. 

"Of that noble body of men how few, alas, now survive ! The 
brave Col, Lewis O. Morris fell, gallantly fighting at the head of his 
regiment, at Spottsylvania Court House, in the summer of 1864. Be- 
tween him and Frederick there soon sprung up, and always existed, 
mutual esteem and regard. 



io8o History of the Treman Family. 

"When the regiment reached Washington, the officer in charge 
of its defences, knowing the skill of Colonel Morris as an artillery 
officer, procured the assignment of the regiment to duty upon the de- 
fences of the city, where it was, not long afterwards, converted into 
the 7th New York artillery. 

"The ensuing fifteen months were passed by Frederick, with his 
regiment, near Fort Reno, about five miles from Washington. He 
applied himself, diligently, to the acquisition of the knowledge re- 
quired in the artillery service. Part of the time, he was engaged in 
teaching a school of officers in military tactics. He devoted himself 
faithfully to the performance of his official duties. Twice I had the 
pleasure of visiting him there, and could not fail to discover that he 
was a universal favorite with the officers and men. 

"He became thoroughly familiar with his new profession. About 
the time of leaving the regiment, he happened one day to be engaged 
with a brother officer, in discussing the subject of being e.xamined as 
to qualifications before a military board in session at Washington, 
when Frederick volunteered to be examined. His duties called him 
frequently to Washington, and soon afterwards he presented himself 
before the board, and was subjected to a thorough e.xamination, the 
result of which was that he passed the examination successfully, and 
was tendered, in a few days, a Lieutenant Colonel's commission in a 
colored regiment, but, meantime, he had received another appoint- 
ment which he preferred. 

"On the most elevated ground in the District of Columbia, about 
six miles from the Capitol, stands Fort Reno, formerly called Fort 
Pennsylvania. Within a short distance from the fort, and upon a 
level plain, may yet be seen the little village of log cabins, laid out 
into streets, which was built for the accommodation of the 7th New 
York artillery. Upon one side, near by, stand the hospital and the 
office for the surgeon, as well as the house erected for the use of 
Ur. Pomfret, and occupied by that skilful and noble hearted surgeon, 
with his family, during the fifteen months that the regiment remained 
upon the defences of Washington. 

"On the other side are a few officers" cabins or huts, and one of 
these, more tasteful than its neighbors, with a little piazza at each 
end, was the 'Adjutant quarters,' constructed for, and under the 
superintendence of, the subject of this sketch.

''Frederick was a universal favorite among the common soldiers. 
He always treated them with kindness and justice. Quick to dis- 
cover real merit in a private, and mingling much with the men, his 
opinions concerning promotions had great influence with Colonel 
Morris, and many a deserving soldier has been indebted for his pro- 
motion from the ranks, to the aid and recommendation of the Adjutant. 

"He began, after more than a year had elapsed, and still no or- 
ders to move came, to desire more active service. The conversion 
of his regiment into an artillery regiment, thus placing it in a higher 
branch of service, had been gratifying to him, but he had not antici- 
pated so long a continuance of garrison duty, and, having reason to 
believe that the regiment might remain doing that duty for a long 
time, and perhaps until the end of the war, his active spirit began to 
chafe under the monotony of his present life. Animated by an hon- 
orable ambition, he could not enjoy a life of inglorious ease. 

•Ik- wrote several letters to the author, expressing these feelings, 
and desiring his aid in obtaining a position where he might have an 
opportunity to acquire distinction, and strike a blow at the enemies 
of his country. 

"Influenced by these appeals, the author applied for, and in 
November, obtained, for Frederick, a Presidential appointment as 
Assistant Adjutant (Jeneral, with the rank of Captain ; an appoint- 
ment which was subsequently confirmed by the Senate. I was pres- 
ent when this appointment was handed to him by that devoted patriot 
and able cabinet officer, Edwin M. Stanton. He observed as he gave 
it. 'I trust I shall hereafter have the pleasure of conferring on you 
higher honors;' to which Frederick modestly replied, 'I hope my 
future conduct will give you no reason to regret the confidence re- 
posed in me.' 

"Frederick had learned of the reputation already acquired by 
that brave and rising young General, Henry E. Davies, Jr., of the 
cavalry service, and he asked for and obtained an order to report to 
him for duty. His departure from the old 7th Regiment was the 
occasion for much regrets, with officers and men, and with himself. 
The officers assembled to bid him an affectionate farewell, and the 
regimental band serenaded him on the eve of his departure. This 
noble regiment took the field the following spring with more than 
1760 bayonets, and of these brave men, how few, either officers or 
men, are now surviving! 



io82 History of the Treman Family. 

"On the 12th of November, soon after his departure, Colonel 
Morris issued an order appointing his successor, which was duly 
made public, and contained the following handsome allusion to the 
late Adjutant. 

" 'The Colonel commanding while he rejoices at the promotion 
of Captain Tremain, regrets that it will send him to a new held of 
duty and sever his connection with this regiment. 

" 'He will bear with him the best wishes of the officers of the 
regiment for his future welfare and success.' 

"Pursuant to orders. Frederick reported for duty to General 
Davies, then commanding the tirst brigade in the third division of 
the cavalry corps. The new field of duty thus opened to him, was 
specially suited to his taste and feelings. It was the cavalry service, 
and the excitement, life and dash of that arm of the service were 
peculiarly adapted to his ardent and enthusiastic nature. He became 
devotedly fond of the cavalry service ; the remainder of his life was 
spent in it, and he became more and more interested in and attached 
to it. An accomplished and veteran officer who knew Frederick well, 
and who had been for nearly a year in the same division with him, 
remarked to the author recently, 'Frederick was our beau ideal of a 
cavalry officer. Brave, generous and chivalrous he attracted our 
admiration. We were all proud of him. He had no enemy in the 
corps, and he achieved a reputation for gallantry equal to that of any 
officer in the army.' 

"When he first joined his new brigade, he found it under march- 
ing orders, and skirmishing between it and the enemy occurred within 
a day or two afterwards, near Raccoon Ford. His Thanksgiving 
dinner was made up of hard tack eaten while the enemy's shells were 
bursting around him. 

"Soon after his return, and about the 20th of January, he was 
ordered by General Pleasanton, then commanding the cavalry corps, 
to leave the brigade with which he was connected, which had another 
Assistant Adjutant General, and report for duty to the first brigade 
and second division, which had recently lost its Assistant Adjutant 
General. He assumed his new position about the middle of January. 
This brigade was one of the largest and finest in the army, and was 
then under the command of Colonel Taylor. It was stationed at 
Warrenton, a pleasant village in Virginia. In April following, Gen- 



Eighth Generation. 1083 

eral Davies was placed in command of this brigade. Frederick re- 
mained with this brigade until his death. In a letter written January 
27th, he writes of being pleasantly located, in a fine office, in the 
centre of the village, which was formerly occupied by a Virginia law- 
yer and judge, and adds, 'we surround this town with our picket lines, 
and they are attacked nearly every night by guerrillas, which kind of 
vermin abound in this region.' 

"He writes from time to time, during the winter and in March, 
about the gay times in the army, several balls having been given, be- 
sides racing, sack racing, hurdle racing, a grand St. Patrick's day 
celebration by the Irish brigade, and he speaks in the highest terms 
of the officers with whom he was associated. The latter part of 
March the division received orders to be in readiness for a move, at 
a moment's notice. 

•In the month of April commenced those grand movements of 
the cavalry which have become already historic. From that time, 
down to his death, the active military career of Frederick may be 
.said to have been accomplished. He was an actor in those mighty 
military movements on which depended the fate of the Nation. He 
was a soldier of the Republic, in the great army whose tread shook 
the continent of America, and whose heroic deeds have excited the 
wonder and admiration of the world. 

"My allusions to the.se movements must, necessarily, be brief 
and imperfect. A few. weeks before his death, Frederick, at my re- 
cjuest, declared his resolution to prepare, at his first leisure moments, 
a record of the battles in which he had been engaged, but alas I that 
leisure never came ! 

•Ills reports, as Assistant Adjutant General, giving a history of 
these movements, are not yet accessible to the public, and I have de- 
rived no information from them. He participated in no less than 
twenty-five battles and skirmishes during a period of ten months. My 
knowledge of these is derived from his own letters, dashed ofi^ in the 
midst of exciting scenes, from his conversations, and from informa- 
tion cheerfully furnished by cultivated and intelligent army officers, 
who were associated with him, at difi'erent periods of time during the 
campaign. 

"The circumstances attending his death may be soon related. 
The movement which resulted in the battle of Hatcher's Run was a 



1084 History of the Treman Family. 

general advance of the whole division on the morning of February 
5th, pursuant to orders. They were on the march all that day, and 
early the next morning, while the brigade were preparing for break- 
fast, the enemy broke in upon them, and a battle ensued which con- 
tinued all day. 

"About 2 r. M., while near Dabney's Mills, Frederick was lead- 
ing his troops on the extreme left, in the skirmish line, and was about 
to make a charge, the cavalry being dismounted, when. Cieneral 
Davies having been wounded, Colonel Avery was called to command 
the brigade and had sent a mounted officer to notify Frederick that 
the command of the regiment had devolved upon him. While Fred- 
erick had turned around, partly, and was conversing with the messen- 
ger, he received the fatal wound from a Minie ball in his hip. 

"He left the field accompanied by two men, meeting on his way 
Colonel Avery who describes him as looking pale, and having a smile 
on his face. In the ambulance, he was overtaken l)y his colored 
servant, and said to him, cheerfully, that they would soon visit Albany 
again. He, also, at the same moment, recognized his cousin. Major 
11. v.. Tremain, of General (iregg's staff, while he was riding by with 
an important order from the general for reinforcements, hailed him, 
remarking that he was hit. perhaps seriously but he thought not dan- 
gerously, and then urged him to go on in the performance of his duty. 

"He walked into the field hospital, where Ceneral Davies met 
him, placed him upon a bed in a room by himself, and gave him 
some stimu'ants and a cigar. The surgeons extracted the ball that 
evening, and pronounced it troublesome only, but not dangerous. He 
was visited there by Major Pease, Major Tremain and others, who, 
relying on the surgeon's report, left him without serious apprehen- 
sions. The next day he was sent to City Point Hospital, fifteen or 
twenty miles, where he arrived, cold and exhausted, attended by his 
servant. 

He was in much pain, and not inclined to converse. The fol- 
lowing day, the 8th. alarming symptoms appeared. He continued 
perfectly conscious, made his arrangements to leave for home, but 
was not made aware of the fact that his life was in danger, and about 
five o'clock, just as his servant had given him some water, he died, 
without a murmur or complaint having escaped his lips. 

"A post-mortem examination revealed the fact that the wound 




CHARLES M. TREMAINE 



Eighth Generation. 1085 

was necessarily mortal from the first. The ball, after performing its 
course, had fallen back, and its location had deceived the surgeons 
who extracted it, and who supposed it merely a fiesh wound. 

•'The intelligence of his death spread a deep gloom over his 
entire brigade, ofticers and men. A meeting of the brigade officers, 
(a rare compliment in the army), was called and attended by every 
officer not absent on dut)'."

him : 

"Bay City, Mich., Jan. 11, 1902. 

"Murray E, Poole, Esq., Ithaca, N. Y. — Dear Sir: — 1 was re- 
cently shown a circular issued by you referring to the genealogy of 
the Tremains, et al. Will you kindly forward me three copies of the 
circular as well as any other pamphlet matter you have issued, and 
in return for the same, I think 1 can send you some interesting his- 
torical references. 

"Our branch of the Tremain family formerly resided in New 
York but divided at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. Part of 
the family joined the U. E. Loyalists and settled at Quebec and Hali- 
fax. My grandfather was a resident of Quebec and was an associate 
partner of John Jacob Astor in the fur trade. My father was edu- 
cated at Prince Edwards Island College and a classmate and personal 
friend of Robert Bonner. I have also heard him say he was a sec- 
ond cousin of Lyman 'I'remain of Albany, N. Y., and a cousin of one 
Rudolph Tremain, who 1 think was an old time member of the New 
York Stock Exchange. My mother, nee Ellen Kick, is still living 
aged eighty-three years, and I think 1 will be able to give you the 
Canadian history of that branch of the Tremain family if the same 

will be of interest to you. 

"Truly yours, 

•IL E. Tremain."
